Problems when trying to compile cpp files using qt headers
 

Hello. I have mandrake 9.1. I've tried to use qt assistant to learn gui programming (at least to see what it is). I have done everything exactly as it was written in the tutorial #1 of the qt assistant. But when i try to compile the file HelloWorld.cpp using make or g++ there are lots of errors saying about undefined references. What's wrong? Thanks in advance.

Here are the messages produced:
[blade@localhost qt]$ qmake -project

Report this pos

judging from the error messages i think you havent included the lines...

#include <qappplication.h>
#include <qpushbutton.h>

Anyway if you are using Qt Designer
you should
1. Create a new project and design the interface
2. Insert a "C++ Main" source file (just the way you inserted the dialog box or main window"
3. qmake -project
4. qmake
5. make
6. run the program

Everything should work fine.

Also check if g++ can reach the library files of Qt

usually qmake takes care of this but this might also be your problem.

append the path of the qt library with -L/<path>
