Creating a Dialog in a Slot of QMainWindow

can you attach compilable sources?

Do you have dialog.cpp in the .pro file? If not, that would explain why you didn't get compilation errors but managed to pass to the linking stage.

Thanks jpn, this was the problem. I always thought that

qmake -project

was sufficient to create a complete .pro file (I'm sure that I ran it before qmake and make). For me this was the first time that something in a .pro file created with qmake was missing. Do you know the reason for this?

I think I found the answer on my own: 'qmake -project' only includes dialog.cpp into the .pro file when dialog.h is included in MainWindow.h . But I first included the Dialog header file in MainWindow.cpp. That was the reason.
