How to import Qt class into C++ project?

[David812]

Goodmorning everybody,

I'm trying to import qt written class into a C++ project.

Now the problem is that Qt exports classes by using the Key word

Q_DECL_EXPORT

and C++ imports classes by using __declspec (dllimport)

How is possible to match both languages??

Now the compiler arises a problem such as this :
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [src/RFM_plot_import.o] Error 1

Could you help me??
Thanks in advance!

What do you means for

"I'm trying to import qt written class into a C++ project."?
"How is possible to match both languages??"

Qt is written in C++.

Show your code, probably there are errors in source files.

On the Windows platform, Q_DECL_EXPORT is defined as __declspec(dllexport), which is completely compatible with __declspec (dllimport) for importing items defined in a DLL. Therefore there should be no problem using classes exported from a DLL using that declaration and importing them into your project.

Exactly what -are- you trying to do? Are the Qt classes actually defined in a DLL for which you have a header file? You probably don't need to use these keywords at all, if you have properly #defined QT_DLL either in your source file (or better) as a compiler option.

If you haven't done it correctly, you will most likely get linker errors, not compiler errors.

So,
I'm doing an application which use the qwtplot to plot data and a QWTsamplingThread to sample data which will be plottet by the qwtplot.
Seeing that qwtplot must be inside a widget, i need to create an instance for a widget(which start the plot) and a sampling thread.

Since my application is a small part of a bigger C written software (At this point the Qt written plotting plotting application is working good), i need to link both,the customized qwtplot class (modified by me) and the customized QsamplingThread class (modified by me).
Now the problem is that (in my opinion) i need to include in the C++ application an instance for Qapplication and the relative method called Qapplication.exec() in order to start the application.
Anyone has ever done such a thing??
Anyone has any pattern to help me??

Thanks a lot
