How to get the *.h and *.cpp from *.ui generated by QtDesigner?

**luffy27** · 16th November 2006, 16:05

I developed a form from QtDesigner 3.3 and generated the multiclip.ui. But after I compile the project with make there is neither multiclip.h and multiclip.cpp.

Here is the process of compile:
[root@localhost Multiclip]# ls
main.cpp multiclip.ui multiclip.ui.h
multiclip.pro multiclip.ui~ multiclip.ui.h~
[root@localhost Multiclip]# qmake
[root@localhost Multiclip]# ls
main.cpp multiclip.pro multiclip.ui~ multiclip.ui.h~
Makefile multiclip.ui multiclip.ui.h
[root@localhost Multiclip]# make
g++ -o multiclip .obj/main.o .obj/multiclip.o .obj/moc_multiclip.o -L/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lqt-mt -lXext -lX11 -lm
[root@localhost Multiclip]# ls
main.cpp multiclip multiclip.ui multiclip.ui.h
Makefile multiclip.pro multiclip.ui~ multiclip.ui.h~

Is it needed the uic tool to transform *.ui to *.h and *.cpp files?
And what is the purpose to get the *.h and *.cpp files from the *.ui?
Thanks.

1. Don't develop as root

2. Don't do anything that is not system maintanance as root
3. What does your project (.pro) file contain? Does it have a FORMS += multiclip.ui entry?

**luffy27** · 23rd November 2006, 01:26

Yes it does.
I can only generate my .h and .cpp from .ui by using uic tool.
But the executable file must need the .h and .cpp files and where are they?I can't find them after i compile the project.

Show the contents of your project file please.

**sunil.thaha** · 23rd November 2006, 06:33

Can you post your .pro file contents

**luffy27** · 23rd November 2006, 11:39

Here is the .pro file:
TEMPLATE = app
LANGUAGE = C++

CONFIG += qt warn_on release

SOURCES += main.cpp

FORMS = conversionform.ui

unix {
UI_DIR = .ui
MOC_DIR = .moc
OBJECTS_DIR = .obj
}

And here are the files I have already got after compiling:
conversionform.ui conversionform.ui.h main.cpp metric
conversionform.ui~ conversionform.ui.h~ Makefile metric.pro

Here is the Makefile:

Come on guys, normal sized fonts are just as pretty as those huge ones...

First there is no .ui , .moc and .obj in my directory after compiling.
And then I have seen you wrote that "Here it is []", then I tried to change the {} to []. But after the revision, when I type qmake -o Makefile metric.pro, there occurred an error which stemed from the [].

Can you post the result of "ls -la" command?

.

Your makefile uses .ui, .obj, and .moc directories to compile. So I'm almost sure there is a .ui directory with the .h and .cpp files.

Use "ls -a" to see hidden directories, or just "ls .ui".

Bye
Uppps!!
Sorry, I didn't see Jacek answer...
