the problem is with moc file..try removing the 'release' and 'generated files' files folder and rebuilding the whole application. most of the times, it solves such problems

[undercover]

it doesn't help :-( other ideas ?

[spirit]

try to rebuild project at all, i.e. remove all object files.

[undercover]

it doesn't help too... I tryied clean too...
Other opurtunitys that i can try ?

Have you also deleted your Makefiles? That was causing a similar error on my machine. So clear definitely all, except your files and the *.pro

[undercover]

which files do you mean ? I removed the moc files... Now i have only one file in my generated folder...
???

Hi,

I don't know the real manes at windows but something like: Makefile, Makefile.am, Makefile.Release, Makefile.Debug etc..
