Getting unresolved external symbol when trying to compile a Qt application

[Hossein]

I created a simple GUI application in QtCreator (QT 4.8.2) and added a function to check the network connectivity:


bool MainWindow::CheckNetworkConnectivity()
{
QList<QNetworkInterface> interface = QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces();
for(int i = 0; i < interface.count();i++)
{
QNetworkInterface inface = interface.at(i);
if(inface.IsUp && !inface.IsLoopBack)
{
ui->lstLog->addItem(inface.name()+QDateTime::currentDateTime() .toString("h:m:s ap"));
ui->chkConStatus->setChecked(true);
}
else{
ui->chkConStatus->setChecked(false);
}
}
return ui->chkConStatus->checkState();
}

After that any attempts to compile the code generates the following errors:

How can i solve this problem?
Thank you in advance:)

Do you have: #include <QNetworkInterface> included in the .cpp file and QT += network in the .pro file?
