"Undefined reference to" in QtCreator plugin

Show the code, it's almost impossible to help without seeing it.

LoggerPlugin.cpp then contains the implementation of the initialize and shutdown methods, but nothing tricky just clean-up code.

XMLProxy.h

#ifndef XMLPROXY_H
#define XMLPROXY_H
class XMLProxy
{
public:
    XMLProxy();
    ~XMLProxy();
    XMLProxy(QString name, QString filename, QString type);
    void serializeXML();
    QString _name,  _filename,  _type;
};
 
#endif // XMLPROXY_H

#ifndef XMLPROXY_H
#define XMLPROXY_H
class XMLProxy

public:
    XMLProxy();
    ~XMLProxy();
    XMLProxy(QString name, QString filename, QString type);
    void serializeXML();
    QString _name,  _filename,  _type;
};

#endif // XMLPROXY_H

and the class implementation

it´s not working like this but if I move the code from XMLProxy.cpp to XMLProxy.h it works
To compile I do "qmake ..\qtcreator.pro -recursive CONFIG+=debug QT+=xml" from the build directory of qtcreator folder and then, from the same dir, "mingw32-make debug"

Thank you for any help

That´s the output after executing mingw32-make

I would have thought you'd get an undefined reference to XMLProxy::~XMLProxy()
I can't see the function for that one.

[davif]

I put it actually in one of my tries but I still got the same error.
But still if I move all the code into the .h file it works
