problems with linking.... ??

[thejester]

Hi,

I had a programm with 2 forms. This all worked. Now i tried to move the code and the form into a dll. When compiling and linking now, i get error LNK2001.

The complete output is here :

I have no idea where to start looking for a solution. Tried the form here... saw stuff about linking towards qtmain.lib QtCore4.lib instead of the qtmaind.lib QtCore4d.lib but this didnt have any effect.

its qt 4.1.3 wit vs2003.

The form that uses slots/signals needs to have the Q_OBJECT, the other form doesnt. Removing the Q_OBJECT on the form that doesnt need the slots/signals results in an dll that does in fact link. But where is the problem ????

Any ideas ?
