Qlist error on windows
-
Hi,
I am trying to move a qt project from linux to windows. Although my application compiles and runs on linux, when compiling on windows I get a bunch of really ugly errors (below). I appreciate any ideas on how to solve or debug this problem.
Thanks.
Here are the errors:

How does the code look like?

The errors were caused by this chunk of code in qlist.h:
@
#ifndef QT_NO_STL
static inline QList<T> fromStdList(const std::list<T> &list)
{ QList<T> tmp; qCopy(list.begin(), list.end(), std::back_inserter(tmp)); return tmp; }
inline std::list<T> toStdList() const
{ std::list<T> tmp; qCopy(constBegin(), constEnd(), std::back_inserter(tmp)); return tmp; }
#endif
@
So I seem to have resolved the problem by defining QT_NO_STL in my .pro file. Since I do not use anything from the STL this is not an issue. However, its silly that the compilation of internal qt headers would be inconsistent between Windows / Linux. I'd appreciate further explanation of what exactly the above errors mean. -
If I knew what code of my was causing this problem then I would have some idea of how to solve it.
But I have no idea what is causing this error as the compiler errors refer only to qlist.h.Any suggestions on how to find which parts of my code cause the error?

From experience, if something goes wrong in a third-party header file you include, then it's quite often a mistake in your own code before the #include statement, maybe indirectly through another #include statement.
You could try something very simple like:
@//Test.cpp
#include <QList>int myTest(void)
{
QList<int> test;
test << 42;
return test.size();
}@If a file with only that content won't compile either, it would indicate that something with your build environment and/or your Qt configuration is wrong. If it does compile fine, then carefully check your other code again. In particular, I would try to strip down your code as much as possible, until it compiles through. Then re-add the code line-by-line until it fails to compile again, so you will find the "problematic" part...

When I get errors like this it is my code causing it in about 99.9% of all cases. So what does your code look like? It seems to be compiling main.cpp when triggering those errors.
