Problem Compiling - "`QtValidLicenseForCoreModule"?

[Jimmy2775]

Hello - I'm trying an exercise using 4.3.0, Open Source, on WinXP.

I've downloaded the Qt code, ran configure and accepted the license. Still, when I try and compile the application I get the following output:

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug

I've Googled around to see what could be causing this but everything indicates the problem is related to not having run 'configure'. I've even checked the qconfig.h file to ensure it contains the correct definition: # define QT_EDITION QT_EDITION_OPENSOURCE and it does. Here is the code I am trying to compile - perhaps I've done something wrong...

main.cpp

#include "primedialog.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
QApplication app( argc, argv );
PrimeDialog view;
view.show();
return app.exec();
}

primedialog.h

#ifndef PRIMEDIALOG_H
#define PRIMEDIALOG_H

#include <QWidget>

class QLabel;
class QLineEdit;
class QProgressBar;

class PrimeDialog : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
PrimeDialog();
~PrimeDialog();

int getFromValue();
int getToValue();

private:
QLabel *m_FromLabel;
QLabel *m_ToLabel;
QLabel *m_AnswerLabel;
QLineEdit *m_FromLineEdit;
QLineEdit *m_ToLineEdit;
QLineEdit *m_AnswerLineEdit;
QProgressBar *m_ProgressBar;

public slots:
void disableLineEdits();
void enableLineEdits();
void setAnswerLabelValue( QString newValue );
void updateProgressBar( int percentage );

}

#endif

primedialog.cpp


#include "primedialog.h"

m_FromLabel = new QLabel( "From", this );
m_ToLabel = new QLabel( "To", this );
m_AnswerLabel = new QLabel( "Answer", this );
m_FromLineEdit = new QLineEdit( this );
m_ToLineEdit = new QLineEdit( this );
m_AnswerLineEdit = new QLineEdit( this );
m_ProgressBar = new QProgressBar( this );

QHBoxLayout *fromLayout = new QHBoxLayout;

fromLayout->addWidget( m_FromLabel );
fromLayout->addWidget( m_FromLineEdit );
toLayout->addWidget( m_ToLabel );
toLayout->addWidget( m_ToLineEdit );
answerLayout->addWidget( m_AnswerLabel );
answerLayout->addWidget( m_AnswerLineEdit );
progressLayout->addWidget( m_ProgressBar );

QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
mainLayout->addLayout( fromLayout );
mainLayout->addLayout( toLayout );
mainLayout->addLayout( answerLayout );
mainLayout->addLayout( progressLayout );

setLayout( mainLayout );
setWindowTitle( "Enter info here" );
setFixedHeight( sizeHint().height() );
}

{
return m_FromLineEdit->text().toInt();
}

}

{

}

void PrimeDialog::enableLineEdits()

}

void PrimeDialog::setAnswerLabelValue( QString newValue )
{
m_AnswerLineEdit->setText( newValue );
}

void PrimeDialog::updateProgressBar( int percentage )
{
//TODO:
}

As always, any suggestions as to how I could resolve this are greatly appreciated. I have compiled the Qt source (main and debug) without issue, and have even compiled another small application without a problem. I'm hoping I've missed something here.

It is the include order from main.cpp.
QApplication.h has to be first always( even before precompiled headers ).

Not the most intuitive error message, I must say, but that has resolved that particular issue. Thanks Marcel.

I've put the QApplication include at the top of main.cpp, but now I get the following compiler error:

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug

Once again, any ideas are appreciated. I don't see how I'm trying to convert an int to my PrimeDialog class.

Ahhh yes - forgot the ; at the end of the header file.
