Extern Variable linkage error

[mebingj]

in my Qt project i have a QString variable in one class(variable is gloablly defined in dialog1.cpp)

QString d;

i am trying to access the same variable from another class (variable is declared as extern in timeall.cpp)

extern QString d;

Wen i compile the file, there appears to be a linker error

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
