Same here with Qt6.8 on Ubuntu 22.04

It seems that in my project CMakeLists.txt there's a line set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON) which is enabled if another variable is is set to ON. QtAES is built as a sub-project. When setting BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to OFF, the error doesn't happen.

I had the same problem, and can be solved by creating qtaex_export.h in the root directory.

Basically, the file defines which symbol should be exported.

file: qtaes_export.h

#pragma once

#include <QtCore/qglobal.h>

#if defined(QTAESSHARED_EXPORT)
#  define QTAESSHARED_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT
#else
#  define QTAESSHARED_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT
#endif

It seems qtaes_export.h should be generated by generate_export_header(QtAES EXPORT_MACRO_NAME QTAESSHARED_EXPORT) which was removed in 93020ab6c69203aba49ef1fd43e3119b718195b8
