No viable conversion from 'const QString::Null' to 'QWidget *' Error help! [SOLVED]
-
Thank you SGaist for the reply, it solved that problem! I got through another two errors, however I now have 20 errors that all seem to be variations of the following:
".moc/gfortran/../../image_window.h:86:23: error: member access into incomplete type 'QMouseEvent'
else if( event->button() == Qt::LeftButton ) {
^
/Users/Rick/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/lib/QtWidgets.framework/Headers/qwidget.h:73:7: note: forward declaration of 'QMouseEvent'
class QMouseEvent; "Any ideas?
-
You are missing the QMouseEvent include
-
Thanks again SGaist, I'm truly grateful, your advice has been very helpful. I got through the rest of the errors, and arrived at another possibly linking error, which I'm thinking may be the last obstacle if it's a simple problem. Any advice?

Are you still using getOpenFileName in a wrong fashion ? Can you share the code ?
-
You are trying to use the old Qt 3 getOpenFileName. Look at the documentation to see what to put where in the new version of the function
-
Okay, I decided to go another route and use macports to install qt3 and recompile. I'm about in the same place, I still get the "ld:symbol not found for architecture x86_64" message at the end, with only a few "Undefined Symbols" messages:

What is EGS_Input ? Where does it come from ? Custom library ? Official library ?
-
By custom I meant a library you wrote yourself and official some 3rd party like e.g. openssl.
So that that is 3rd party library, and from the look of it you only have it in 32bit, can you get it in 64 ?
-
Then you will need to first build Qt in 32bit
-
Thanks again SGaist. I tried that, still got more of the same error (had to compile with qt 5.2 again, can't install qt3 via macports).
Perhaps you could help me out with something else though, I'm compiling a different gui and receiving the error below. I recognize that it doesn't like either constructor, but given the relevant code in egs_tools.cpp (below), do you have any advice on how to change the definition of "target"?
Thanks again!

ch = *source;
source++;
out.put( ch );
}

}" -
The first thing that surprises me is why use ofstream if you are using QString for copy2file ? You should use QFile and QDataStream, it would be simpler.
Anyway, you are trying to pass a QString to ofstream that expects a const char *, not a good idea. You need to convert the QString to a const char * (look at e.g. toLatin1())
Are you writing that EGS library ?
-
Thanks SGaist, that solved that problem. No, I am not writing this library, I am a user. This was written several years ago.
Still unfortunately not able to compile the other gui I described earlier, which had some kind of architecture x86_64 linker problem. I took your advice however and tried building qt3 in 32 bit. Since I could not build qt3 in 32 bit (I used macports to install it before, which gave the errors in my previous post.. I could not successfully build it from source), I built qt 5.2.1 in 32 bit using the ./configure -m32 option. This resulted in a the same error, "ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64."

You're welcome !
Now that you got going, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
