Plotter

Hi

I am trying to get the plotter example from the book C++ GUI programming with QT 4 to
work in my application. I am getting link errors and am not sure what is really causing it
I am using Visual Studio C++ V8 QT V4.3 I have included the plotter.cpp and plotter.h files in my project and am just calling "Plotter plotter;" with no code to actualy use it yet, but I can't get past the link errors does anybody have any ideas? The exact error is.

1>plotter.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __thiscall Plotter::metaObject(void)const " (?metaObject@Plotter@@UBEPBUQMetaObject@@XZ)
1>plotter.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void * __thiscall Plotter::qt_metacast(char const *)" (?qt_metacast@Plotter@@UAEPAXPBD@Z)

Looks like you forgot to rerun qmake after adding a Q_OBJECT macro to your class. Or forgot to call moc on the header and include moc_classname.cpp in the compilation in case you are not using qmake at all.

This is an application I have taken over coding I am new to QT. I have not used the moc_myclass.cpp. I guess I don't understand the interaction with it. There are about 10 files build with designer creating myclass.ui that have the assocated moc_myclass.cpp files.

Thanks, Chris

So you need to add the 11th to the build process... or use qmake and forget about all the problems.

OK I used the moc_plotter.cpp and got it to work corectly

Thanks for the help
