Cannot compile Qt apps in KDevelop

[AndrewTheArt]

Hey all -

I'm using KDevelop 3.3.5 and trying to make a Qt application.
When I try to build the project, I get some nasty errors.

Basically, I have a User Interface file (base.ui), a main .cpp file (test666.cpp), and a helper class (download.ccp and download.h). The "download" class contains code the proper event handler to react to a mouse click on a button that I placed in the .ui file.

cd '/home/andrew/test666' && QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt3" gmake -j1 
cd src && gmake -f Makefile 
compiling test666.cpp (g++)
test666.cpp:29: warning: unused parameter ‘argc’
test666.cpp:29: warning: unused parameter ‘argv’
compiling download.cpp (g++)
In file included from download.cpp:20:
download.h:23:18: error: base.h: No such file or directory
download.h:25: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token
download.h:26: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘Q_OBJECT’ with no type
download.h:27: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘public’
download.h:29: error: expected `:' before ‘slots’
download.h:30: error: expected primary-expression before ‘virtual’

download.h:30: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘virtual’
download.cpp:22: error: expected `)' before ‘*’ token
download.cpp:27: error: no ‘void Download::pushButton1_clicked()’ member function declared in class ‘Download’
download.cpp: In member function ‘void Download::pushButton1_clicked()’:
download.cpp:29: error: ‘cout’ was not declared in this scope
gmake[1]: *** [download.o] Error 1
gmake: *** [sub-src-make_default] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

Here's my download.cpp

#include "download.h"

Download::Download(QWidget *parent, const char *name)
    :Form1(parent, name)
{
}

void Download::pushButton1_clicked()
{
	cout > "Hello!";
}

and my download.h

#ifndef DOWNLOAD_H
#define DOWNLOAD_H

#include "base.h"

class Download: public Form1 {
Q_OBJECT
public:
    Download(QWidget *parent = 0, const char *name = 0);
public slots:
    virtual void pushButton1_clicked();
};

#endif

and my test666.cpp

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  printf("Hello, world!\n");

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

It is probably important to not that when i try to "rebulid" the project in KDevelop, I get this error -

cd '/home/Andrew/Projects/test666' && QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt3" gmake -j1 clean && QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt3" gmake -j1 
cd src && gmake -f Makefile clean
rm -f moc_download.cpp
rm -f qmake_image_collection.cpp
rm -f ui_base.h
rm -f test666.o download.o moc_download.o
rm -f *~ core *.core
cd src && gmake -f Makefile 
generating ui_base.h (uic)
uic: File generated with too old version of Qt Designer
File 'base.ui' is not valid
gmake[1]: *** [ui_base.h] Error 1
gmake: *** [sub-src-make_default] Error 2

I recently upgraded to the very latest version of Qt in order to eliminate one of those errors, but I had no success.

It appears as if no header file is being generated for my .ui file - definitely abnormal and a good explanation of several of my errors

Any ideas?

Hi, you got further than me...

The first thing i should fix is that you don't seem to have the file base.h

I have tried to compile my project with make and a Makefile produced by qmake, but it seems to be a problem with my installation. I put a question on this on the Setting QT Path thread if you have any information on how to solve my problem.
