undefined reference to 'vtable ...'

[GUIman]

I don't understand this error:

Undefined reference to 'vtable for Spaceship'   Spaceship.cpp  9
Undefined reference to 'vtable for Spaceship'   Spaceship.cpp  9

I was trying to modify the colliding mice example to just show a block move upward.

Thank you very much

Have you defined this two member functions: QRectF boundingRect() const;, QPainterPath shape() const;?

[SixDegrees]

Also, make sure you've added both the header and the implementation files to your .pro file.

[schnitzel]

try cleaning the project, remove debug/release folders, remove the makefiles and the .pro.user file, then open the project again and rebuild.

[ChrisW67]

You need to provide the implementations for two virtual functions (one pure) you declare:

QRectF boundingRect() const;
QPainterPath shape() const;

QRectF boundingRect() const;
QPainterPath shape() const;

and the error goes away.

Thank you very much... I am an idiot
