Thanks for your reply. Actually I used a include guard like this.

#ifndef GAMEPLAY_H
#define GAMEPLAY_H

I also tried to disable that include command and everything related to this file in the main window, still I have multiple definition problem.

And through the error log, I found that the file is conflict with itself. All errors come from gameplay.h gameplay.o moc_gameplay.cpp gameplay.o

do a complete clean, preferably delete your shadow build folder, rerun qmake and recompile.

Let's see if that fixes it.

Sorry I'm new to qt. What is 'shadow build folder'? Does qmake mean 'Build All' in qt Creator?

@MasterBlade
you'll finde the shadow build folder path in your project settings.
Its a folder where all temporary files are created during the compile process and your executable will end up in

@MasterBlade

Build > Run Qmake

after that, do:

Build > Rebuild

I tried to delete shadow folder ,run qmake, then rubuild all, still the same problem

I decided to upload the source file. It's fairly simple at this state. I know you experts do a much better job than me.

I can't upload file here. check this link for file

Do you have non-inline methods defined in the .h file? if so move them to the cpp file

Yeah, I also can't put links here. The page says it's an ad. ('Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com') Maybe you have a higher privilege than me :)

You can try this link. https://ufile.io/m53r2

The rar file looks alright to me. It's 205 KB.

.h file has only classes. There are some functions in the classes of course. Some functions are lengthy and cannot be set as inline. Should I define them in the .cpp file?
