When compiling qt ld.exe: cannot find -ldb

When compiling bitcoin-qt on windows I get through

qmake "USE_UPNP=-" bitcoin-qt.pro

but when I run

make -f Makefile.Release

it returns

ld.exe: cannot find -ldb_cxx

which I am pretty sure is the Berkeley DB. So I went into C:\deps\db-4.8.30.NC\build_unix and found db_cxx.h and added the path to the PATH before trying again only to fail

bitcoin-qt-setup

-ldb implies levelDB. – John T – 2014-03-19T20:54:18.480

I though it implies library DB, because running ld.exe -l db_cxx has the same results. How can I fix levelDB if that's what it is? – jamd315 – 2014-03-19T20:58:03.263

To think of it you may be correct. My bad! – John T – 2014-03-19T21:02:50.743
