expected type-specifier before 'Class Name' / not declared in this scope

[sfabel]

Hi ppl,

have a relatively straightforward problem, but can't seem to figure out what's happening here.

I've created a shared library with Qt. It compiles fine, and is installed. I try to instantiate an object from one of the defined classes in main.cpp of a program using the library.

#include <myClass.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    ManiDialog *w = new ManiDialog( 0 );
 
    MyClass *m = new MyClass();
 
    w->show();
    return a.exec();
}

#include <myClass.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    ManiDialog *w = new ManiDialog( 0 );

    MyClass *m = new MyClass();

    w->show();
    return a.exec();
}

The library is added to the .pro file, the include path is set. I've used the Q_DECL_EXPORT macro in the library (QtCreator created this automatically for me). I don't know if that is important to this. MyClass is a concrete class, whose abstract base class is also defined in the library.

class MyClass LIBMYCLASS_EXPORT : public MyOtherClass

class MyClass LIBMYCLASS_EXPORT : public MyOtherClass

I get the following error when running "Build" in QtCreator:

main.cpp:10: error: ‘m’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:10: error: expected type-specifier before ‘MyClass’
main.cpp:10: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘MyClass’
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

main.cpp:10: error: ‘m’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp:10: error: expected type-specifier before ‘MyClass’
main.cpp:10: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘MyClass’
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

Can anyone help me out? This seems so straightforward...

Thanks,
