What sort of information would be helpful?

As I keep looking it seems to have something to do with a main.o file which doesn't exist in my folder structure. Where can I get this?
-
Well as browsing through the forum I suppose this is the same topic as "here?":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3279/
I assume it's better to talk about this topic there because missing declarations in the .pro file would have been my next guess and it looks like this is not a platform dependant issue!

The paths to your main.cpp and harvest.cpp and other SOURCES and HEADERS are wrong. They must be either
- absolute path (not recommended)
- or relative to the directory where your .pro file is in
To achieve the latter, go to a shell, enter the directory where your .pro file lives and list the source file on the command line like this:
@
ls -l src/main.cpp
@If you see a result, the argument to ls is what must go into your .pro file.
Also, qmake should have printed a warning on the console:
@
$ qmake
WARNING: Failure to find: main.cpp
WARNING: Failure to find: harvest.cpp
WARNING: Failure to find: harvest.h
@ -
The .o files are generated by your compiler.
Are your source files stored in the same directory as your .pro-file? If not, this might be kind of problem, because your project file declares it's sources to be
@SOURCES += main.cpp
harvest.cpp@This usually means that these files are in the same folder as the .pro-file.

I am using both OS X and Ubuntu and having issues on each. I tried both areas since with a different os in each because I wasn't for sure where the best location was for it.

They are not. I will do some experimenting.

Thats fine. Still having some issues... and still poking around.

An easy solution for the SOURECS definition is to declare it as:
(notice that I assume that your sources and headers are located in src)@
SOURCES += src/main.cpp
src/harvest.cpp
INCLUDEPATH += src/
@With INCLUDEPATH qmake will configure make to find all header files within the src folder because this will also cause some trouble if they are not found.
I hope this helps you a little bit.

That change rendered this error:

My problem had to do with a shadow build and installing unit test files.
