Linux -> Windows port issue (signals)

[robertogoberto]

Hello,

I'm having an issue porting one of my applications to Windows, I'm using Qt 4.5.2 OSE combined with VS2008. The problem is none of the signals/slots seem to work. I get this:

Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in d:\projects\cc\qteditor\
ui_mainwindow.h:100
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionQuit')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in .\window.cpp:22
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionNew')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in .\window.cpp:23
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionOpen')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in .\window.cpp:24
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionSave')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in .\window.cpp:25
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionSave_as')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')
Object::connect: No such signal QAction::activated() in .\window.cpp:26
Object::connect: (sender name: 'actionAbout')
Object::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow')

This is especially maddening since the application builds fine in Windows, builds and runs fine -- it does not have this issue -- in Linux.

Here is the buildlog

moc, uic, ... seem to be running correctly.

Here is the offending code.

connect(actionNew, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(reset()));
connect(actionOpen, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(open()));
connect(actionSave, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(save()));
connect(actionSave_as, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(saveas()));
connect(actionAbout, SIGNAL(activated()), this, SLOT(about()));

that's it. I'm at a loss as to why this works in Linux but not in Windows.

It's probably because you don't have qt3 support at your windows machine. activated() is deprecated, use triggered() instead.

[robertogoberto]

Yeah, that was it. Thank you. :-) I had no idea it was deprecated.
