I'm a fresh,how this problem could be resolved?

[defyer]

here's the output in my terminal:
(it's just a very simple hello,world program)


g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -I. -I. -o hello.o hello.cpp

Can you post your code? main()

[defyer]

oh,sorry, I forget...
here it is, I think it may be caused by the compatibility, for I installed the Qt4 on my machine, but the program is Qt3 version(got from the book <<C++ GUI Programming with Qt3>>):

#include <QApplication>
#include <QLabel>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QLabel *label = new QLabel("Hello Qt!", 0);
app.setMainWidget(label);
label->show();
return app.exec();
}

and here the Qt installation on my Ubuntu 7.04 laptop:

defyer@ubuntuyn:~$ dpkg -l |grep qt4
rc libqt4-core 4.2.3-0ubuntu3 Qt 4 core non-GUI functionality runtime libr

thank u!

remove //app.setMainWidget(label);

QApplication:: (http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/qapplication-qt3.html#setMainWidget)setMainWidget (http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/qapplication-qt3.html#setMainWidget)() is no longer used in Qt4. When all an application's windows are closed, the application will exit normally.

[defyer]

yes, it works, thanks:)
so, I'd better to use Qt3 to compile the program from that book?
if I put more than one widgets, what comes? is that necessary to "setMainWidget"?if not , what shoud I do?

[rajesh]

you create mainWindow object in main or any user define class object in main. then you add widget in mainWindow or your defined class.
you can see example from http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/examples.html

Or choise a qt4 book..

Your existing qt3 code can transform to qt4
