MSVC 2010 with wizard plugin: Project fails to link with wizard generated code

[Meek the Geek]

Hi, I have Visual studio 2010, and I have compiled the QT 4.7.1 library and I have installed the Nokia QT plugin for MSVC

I can now use the wizard to generate a project, ex: QT Console application with QTCore, and QTGUI

The default project looks like this, and it compiles and runs even if it fails to be useful


#include "qapplication.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

QString appName("Colton Configurator V1.0");
a.setApplicationName(appName);

return a.exec();
}

Now, all I do is add the following lines


#include "qapplication.h"
#include "qwidget.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

QString appName("Colton Configurator V1.0");
a.setApplicationName(appName);


QWidget widget;
//widget.show();


return a.exec();
}

and then I get the linker insanity shown below. I think this is a problem with the plugin not calling QMake to update stuff once compiled, but how do you get around this problem? I get a similar problem if I use the command "Clean All" prior to rebuilding.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Try it with QApplication (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qapplication.html) instead of QCoreApplication (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qcoreapplication.html)

//and also the includes should be between <> and without .h
