Qt forbid declaration of QListView with no type

[Dehumanizer]

I have a very strange error in my Qt project. Here is the code, the main_window.h:



#include <QtGui>
#include <QtSql>

class main_window : public QTabWidget
{
Q_OBJECT

/// @name List Widgets
private:
QListWidget* m_documents_list;
....


and here is main_window.cpp:


...
void main_window::create_documents_widget()
{
m_documents = new QWidget(this);
m_documents_list = new QListWidget(m_documents);
}
...

The problem that I can't understand is in QListView, I'm not using it in my project. There is only QListWidget, but when I'm trying to build the project the following errors occur:

qlistview.h:194: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QListView' with no type

qlistview.h:194: error: expected ',' or '...' before '&' token

Also the following strange errors:

qlistwidget.h:308: error: no 'void QListWidget::removeItemWidget(QListWidgetItem*)' member function declared in class 'QListWidget'

qlistwidget.h:311: error: no 'void QListWidget::addItem(QListWidgetItem*)' member function declared in class 'QListWidget'

qlistwidget.h:314: error: no 'QListWidgetItem* QListWidget::itemAt(int, int) const' member function declared in class 'QListWidget'

etc.

Thanks in advance.

UPD: I'm using QtCreator 2.2.1 on Windows 7.

UPD2: Qt version is 4.7.1.

UPD3: The complete output

Do you include QListWidget? #include <QListWidget>

[Dehumanizer]

Yes, I've included.

[Lykurg]

Hm, it seems you have declared your own class named QListWidget. Or you used
QListWidget; somewhere. Can we see more code, or make a minimal, »compilable« example, reproducing your problem.

[ChrisW67]

The problem that I can't understand is in QListView, I'm not using it in my project. There is only QListWidget, QListWidget inherits QListView.


UPD2: Qt version is 4.7.1. The error messages are clearly coming from a Qt 4.7.3 install. I would start by rerunning qmake to make sure the right qmake is used and Makefile is constructed.

If the problem persists look at the lines of your code leading up to the line 4 of main_window.h (the one that starts the error) looking for missing semicolons and the like. There can only be a few lines (the ones you have given us don't quite match the error messages).

[Dehumanizer]

It seems my project is kidding on me. The build gives various "unknown"(to me) errors. I'm getting angry, is it possible that QtCreator sucks and Qt Windows SDK sucks, too?
Here is all my code:

And, finally, main.cpp



#include <QApplication>

#include "main_window.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
main_window w;
w.show();

return app.exec();
}


I got the following output (for now, I'm sure if I change something, even add a comment, the errors will increase:) ):

Extra great thanks in advance, also thanks for previous replies, waiting for solution....
