Force Moc to moc a file
-
Hi,
Out of curiosity, which version of Qt are we talking about ?
-
Hi,
thanks for asking - i missed that:
Qt 5.4 on Xubuntu 14. -
Ok,
I understand, that
qmake
does not recognize ( and probably even cannot - as it supposed doesn't expand macros) that the concerning file needs to get mocced.
Is there any ways then to add something in the pro file to tellqmake
, that the file needs to get mocced ? p.e.:moc += bar.h
-
qmake is a project manager so indeed it doesn't include macro expansion. moc on the other end (since Qt 5) should expand macro properly.
I just tested your code on OS X and it worked

Hi SGaist,
thanx for caring about this issue,
Did yout test it without the Q_OBJECT pseudo code commented or uncommented ?In the meanwhile I started to redesign this part of our software (we are talking about 70-80 type definitions in about 7-8 namespaces resp. files ) - but anyway it would be quite interesting ( at least for me ) to know, if such kind of constructs make sense in the Qt world or not.
-
I've removed/re-added it and it still builds. Q_OBJECT is useful when you implement e.g. signals and slots
-
Strange !
Seems, that my qmake implementation is different from yours.
Reproducable it builds if I have the Q_OBJECT uncommented, and it gives me the linker errors if i have it commented.
So this led me to the assumption, that a (uncommented) Q_OBJECT occurance in a header file is the hint for qmake to mark it to be mocced.
-
Which version of qmake are you using ?
-
Qt 5.4.0 GCC 64bit on Xubuntu 14 64bit.
-
Are you calling qmake through Qt Creator or on the command line ?
-
By QtCreator
-
Did you re-try with Qt 5.5 ?
