You didn't run moc, better try to compile it using qmake.

hi, thanks, but what is moc and can i still compile it with vs2005? cause i wanna use the debug feature of vs2005

what is moc

Meta-Object Compiler

There is a separate VS integration package to install if you have a commercial license.
If you are using an open source version, take a look at: Qt4 with Visual Studio.

Even if you compile it from the command-line, using qmake and nmake, the exact same compiler used by Visual Studio is used (cl.exe). You can still debug any executable produced this way.

You probably forgot to use application.qrc and put images in project directory, wich are needed...
