Debugging application on startup
c++, crash, qt, startup
Solution
That error message typically means that while the loader was processing dependencies, one of the dependent DLLs could not be loaded (not found, corrupted file, incompatible, problem with one of its own dependencies, `DllMain` returned false).
A tool that's very helpful for tracking down dependency problems is Dependency Walker (`depends.exe`). It's included in the Windows SDK from Microsoft, but you should visit http://www.dependencywalker.com and download the latest version.
Problem
The 64 bit Qt-Gui application I authored, crashes when attempting to launch from visual studio with the message: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application. There is no compilation error. The application crashes as it attempts to load all the Debug-symbols, DLLs and lib's. Any pointers for debugging in such a scenario ?
