Problem Compiling - "`QtValidLicenseForCoreModule"?

[Jimmy2775]

Hello - I'm trying an exercise using 4.3.0, Open Source, on WinXP.

I've downloaded the Qt code, ran configure and accepted the license. Still, when I try and compile the application I get the following output:

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `C:/projects/primecalc'

I've Googled around to see what could be causing this but everything indicates the problem is related to not having run 'configure'. I've even checked the qconfig.h file to ensure it contains the correct definition: # define QT_EDITION QT_EDITION_OPENSOURCE and it does. Here is the code I am trying to compile - perhaps I've done something wrong...

main.cpp

#include "primedialog.h"
#include <QApplication>
 
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    QApplication app( argc, argv );
    PrimeDialog view;
    view.show();
    return app.exec();
}

#include "primedialog.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    QApplication app( argc, argv );
    PrimeDialog view;
    view.show();
    return app.exec();
}

As always, any suggestions as to how I could resolve this are greatly appreciated. I have compiled the Qt source (main and debug) without issue, and have even compiled another small application without a problem. I'm hoping I've missed something here.

It is the include order from main.cpp.
QApplication.h has to be first always( even before precompiled headers ).

Not the most intuitive error message, I must say, but that has resolved that particular issue. Thanks Marcel.

I've put the QApplication include at the top of main.cpp, but now I get the following compiler error:

Once again, any ideas are appreciated. I don't see how I'm trying to convert an int to my PrimeDialog class.

Ahhh yes - forgot the ; at the end of the header file.
