Originally created by @jriker1 on GitHub (Jul 30, 2018).

I followed the Windows compilation instructions to the letter using MSVC 2017 x64. Including the versions of libraries exactly as they were in the doc. Only deviation is I used qBittorrent 4.1.1 instead of 3.something that the walkthrough gave. When I compiled ran for a long while and complained about a missing library

👎 error: LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libboost_system-vc140-mt-s-1_64.lib'

I have in C:\qbittorrent\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib

libboost_system-vc151-mt-s-1_64.lib

Pointing to this folder in the conf.pri file.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Think I figured this one out. Edited conf.pri and replaced references to 140 with 151.

Thanks.

As a side question, is the web interface part of the base exe file that gets compiled?

Thanks.

Yes. Unless you disable it via config file.
