Undefined refence to "main"

[R.griset]

It seems that the issue might just be cause by the fact dataChanged is not recognize, I tried to add QT+=core in my .pro files but it doesn't solve the issue

[R.griset]

So in some files I have a line :
emit dataChanged(index,index, {Qt::DisplayRole, Qt::EditRole});
and the dataChanged function doesn't seem to accept the third argument

[R.griset]

Additionnally I get :

no matching function for call to ‘SolutionPoolModel::connect(SolutionPoolModel*, void (QAbstractItemModel::)(const QModelIndex&, const QModelIndex&), SolutionPoolModel::SolutionPoolModel(ParametersSet, QObject*)::<lambda(const QModelIndex&, const QModelIndex&, const QVector<int>&)>)’

     connect(this, &SolutionPoolModel::dataChanged, [this](const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight, const QVector<int> &roles){Q_UNUSED(topLeft) Q_UNUSED(bottomRight) Q_UNUSED(roles) this->updateMakespanBoundaries();});
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ^

@R-griset
Although these can be addressed, do you know what version of Qt, and possibly what version of which compiler, this code has been developed using?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@R-griset said in Undefined refence to "main":

void (QAbstractItemModel::)(const QModelIndex&, const QModelIndex&),

This is Qt4 ... you mix Qt4 and Qt5 include files.

[R.griset]

Ok thanks to your advices I switched the Qt version used to build from 4 to 5 (this code has been developed with QT5 )

However I'm still ahving the error

[R.griset]

I think the error probably comes from the fact qmake is called with -qt4 option but I can't figure out how to change it

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Select the correct qmake for the correct Qt5 kit under 'Qt versions'

[R.griset]

Hello Christian Ehrlicher and thanks for helping

Ok i changed the kit but now i'm getting back to my initial issue which I encountered outside of Qt creator : the undefined reference to main :(

@R-griset please remove all build artifacts and build again.

In your src.pro you tell qmake that you want to build an application but you do not provide a main() function there (I would guess)

[R.griset]

@Christian-Ehrlicher but this exact code work perfectly on an other computer so there should be a setting which doesn't need a main function there

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@R-griset said in Undefined refence to "main":

Yes, don't tell qmake that you want to create an application... an application needs a main.

[R.griset]

When I do so i.e replacing TEMPLATE = app by TEMPLATE = lib in the src.pro file , it leads to other errors.

In an other computer it work with TEMPLATE = app without this "undefined reference to main" issue so I'm looking for an explanation about how QT creator build the project in the other computer.

[R.griset]

@Christian-Ehrlicher when I define src as a library I get

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmyapp
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'app' failed
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/d07876/Desktop/Ancrage/Code interface graphique ancrage/build-anchorage-QT5-Debug/app'

[R.griset]

it seems to come from the fact that line

"LIBS += -L../src -lmyapp" in app.pro file is not recognize when src.pro is define as a library

[SGaist]

As already pointed out earlier, your project, as it is can not compile.

As for your LIBS statement, the library is generated in the shadow build folder, not in your sources where you are pointing it to. Use the OUT_PWD variable as starting folder.

[R.griset]

Hello SGaist and merry Christmas,

Thanks again for your help but once again I can't figure out what you want me to do exactly. So here is how I understood your advice :

• As you told me in one of your first post I need to set "TEMPLATE = lib" instead of "TEMPLATE = app" in my src.pro file
• Now when I compile the compiler doesn't find -lmyapp (by the way I don't know if "myapp" is a generic name ) because in my app.pro file I point to ../src in line "LIBS += -L../src -lmyapp"
• Instead of ../src I tried $OUT_PWD or $OUT_PWD/src but the compiler still doesn't find -lmyapp :(

I guess I didn't understand your post

If you want to build a library, use the former one, if you want to build a program, use "app".

Now when I compile the compiler doesn't find -lmyapp (by the way I don't know if "myapp" is a generic name )

You tell the linker to link against a library libmyapp.so, and -L specifies the path to this library. So check if you have such a library (and where!), and if it already exists at the time the linker is invoked.

By the way: /home/d07876/Desktop/Ancrage/Code interface graphique ancrage/build-anchorage-QT5-Debug/app'

I strongly advice against project paths containing spaces or other special characters! Already this small piece might lead to build, debug or deploy errors.

Regards

[R.griset]

Hello aha_1980 and thanks for your advices,

No I don't have "libmyapp.so" anywhere because it should be compile from src folder and call by the application from app folder. At the beggining in the code it was written "app" but it doesn't compile because it is looking for a main function which doesn't exist in src.

Thanks for the advice about the folder name, once again it s not my project but I changed the name ;)
