help needed with complicated project

[Muzz]

Hello everybody,

Im busy with a new/old project that has to been used QT 4.2.0, I use the follow software to develop with QT:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express - V: 8.0.50727.42
QT 4.2.0 (Installed in D:\qt-win-4.2.0)

The follow environment variables in Windows XP are set:

QMAKESPEC => win32-msvc2005
PATH => D:\qt-win-4.2.0\lib;D:\qt-win-4.2.0\bin

In Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express in the Options dialog, At Project and Solutions, VC++ Directories, The follow directories are set:

LIBRARY: D:\qt-win-4.2.0\lib
(Visual Studio makefile returns: d:\qt-win-4.2.0\lib\qtmain.lib d:\qt-win-4.2.0\lib\QtGui4.lib d:\qt-win-4.2.0\lib\QtCore4.lib)

I've used a community patch for 4.2.X to configure this QT Release to enable it in Visual Studio 2005 Express, The follow problem when I try to compile my project in an release, It fails on many things that I do not follow.

I've got the follow directory structure:

src/images (My images I use within my program)
src/include (My included files to refer to in my source)
src/xmpp (Some connection header files and CPP's, Used by source)

src/ itselfs has several .h and .cpp and .ui files. The next few files are differents like my generated .PRO file:

RESOURCES += lol.qrc

When I open the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" and type: qmake -project within the src directory, it doesn't fail, Afterwartds, I do qmake -nomoc (That doesnt help since MSVC Solution Explorer gives alot of MOC_.....h or MOC_....Cpp files. When I do qmake -tp vc, it generates the .vcproj and I can open my project.

The follow debug is available from the VSMC IDE:

1>------ Build started: Project: lol, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

1>lol - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

nmake in the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" gives the follow debug:

And if I exclude the 'mainwindow.cpp' another file will give an Undefined interface error.

How could I solve this and build my compiled EXE? Thank you.

And what do rosterplugin.h and mainwindow.h look like? Could you attach them?

[Muzz]

Hi,

The file's are Attached to this post.

Thank you.

[jpn]

Hmm, Q_INTERFACES() (http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/qobject.html#Q_INTERFACES) is used when implementing plugins but you're compiling everything in one pass. Do you have the original .pro file(s)?

[Muzz]

Yes, They are posted in this reply,

The linq.pro is in /
The src.pro is in /src/
The liblinq.pro is in /src/liblinq/
The libidn.pro is in /src/libidn/

[jpn]

So, what happens if you build the project with its original .pro files (eg. without using "qmake -project")?

[Muzz]

I open the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" and go to the follow directory "D:/lol", In that directory I've the follow directories "src" but I do not go to that directory because there is linq.pro in "D:/lol".

When I do qmake nothing happends, but generated the MAKEFILE.
D:\hyves\src>qmake

D:\hyves\src>

And when I do nmake, The follow appears:

Do you have Platform SDK installed?

[Muzz]

Yes I have, That was about 500 Megs. I've double checked right now since I have tested it with an sample source just made to look if windows.h will be included in VS Express.

[jpn]

Did you follow step 3: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700755.aspx?

[Muzz]

Yes, olso checked with making an Win32 example source without ATL ect ect.

[jpn]

Hmm, is unistd.h available on Windows at all? :)

[Muzz]

Mhh downloaded a new release of that package that was needed, Working now. Gonne debug other .PRO files in order to compile, Thanks for your help!
