Dunno.  I suppose it's possible that this library is compiled as C++
there and thus the objects are built with C++ mangled names.  That'd be
pretty annoying architecturally, but if the only consumers are written
in C++, it wouldn't really matter.

I've never used the application (or Qt itself for that matter) on Linux.

In any event, the linker doesn't know anything about this; it just
matches up symbol names, and fails if it can't do that.  The fact that a
C++ compiler (any C++ compiler) normally gives the linker really weird
names to use is something that C++ users just have to live with.  :-/

No problem; glad to hear it's working.
