    Please show more code i.e. complete constructor!

      OK. I was trying to save on the length of code...

      Here is most of the constructor (I get an error that it is greater than 6000 characters trying to post the whole thing). The printf after the call to ui->setupUi(this); does not print. The code works on Linux...

      @
      #if defined( MINGW32 )
      gsDesign::gsDesign( QWidget *parent ) : ui( new Ui::gsDesign )
      {
      printf("Can we make it here...n");
      ui->setupUi(this);
      #else
      gsDesign::gsDesign(QWidget *parent) :
      QMainWindow(parent),
      ui(new Ui::gsDesign)
      {
      ui->setupUi(this);
      #endif
      printf("Maybe here...n");

      // install event filters
      ui->dnNameCombo->installEventFilter(this);
      

      printf("Now, maybe here...n");
      ui->dnDescCombo->installEventFilter(this);

      ...

      ui->eptErrorHSlider->setScalePosition( QwtSlider::BottomScale );
      ui->eptErrorHSlider->setRange( 0.0 , 100.0 , 0.1 );
      ui->eptPowerHSlider->setScalePosition( QwtSlider::BottomScale );
      ui->eptPowerHSlider->setRange( 0.0 , 100.0 , 0.5 );
      ui->eptErrorHSlider->setValue( ui->eptErrorDSpin->value() );
      ui->eptPowerHSlider->setValue( ui->eptPowerDSpin->value() );
      

      }
      @

        Why do you have the if defined / else / endif there ?
        Did you try to debug it?

          Mingw does not like the call to QMainWindow(parent), but it is apparently needed on the version of Qt I have installed on Linux. That's the only reason.

          I have tried running this through gdb, but have had some trouble as my version of R on windows was not built with the debug flags set. I should rebuild it with those flags set, but have not as of yet...

            bq. Mingw does not like the call to QMainWindow(parent)

            This is definitely not true. This should work on all platforms as well as here.
            Of the ui->setupUI(this) crash, the ui is propably not initialised. This you should see in your debugger.
            I'm always use ui on all platforms (mac, unix, linux, windows mingw and windows msvc) and everything is working without platform definitions!

              Here's what I know. If I use the constructor specified in the else clause of the #if defined statement, I do not even enter the constructor function. If I use the one specified in the if (MINGW32) part, I do enter the constructor function. So, on my system, mingw does not seem to like the call to QMainWindow(parent).

              If setupUi does not initialize the ui, then what does? Here's the code that calls the constructor:

              @
              void Init(int argc, char *argv[])
              {
              if (m_pgsdApp == NULL)
              {
              m_pgsdApp = new QApplication(argc, argv);
              QSplashScreen *m_pSplash = new QSplashScreen;
              m_pSplash->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/splash/gsDesignSplash.png"));
              m_pSplash->show();

              Qt::Alignment topRight = Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignTop;
              m_pSplash->showMessage(QObject::tr("Loading graphical user interface ... "),
              topRight, Qt::white);

              int delay = 3500;
              QTimer::singleShot(delay, m_pSplash, SLOT(close()));

              m_pgsdApp->processEvents();

              m_gsdWindow = new gsDesign();

              QTimer::singleShot(delay, m_gsdWindow, SLOT(show()));
              }
              }
              @

                This sounds weird. The constructor constructs always the object.
                Maybe you should show us you header!

                    The constructor MUST look like this:

                    @
                    gsDesign::gsDesign(QWidget *parent) :
                    QMainWindow(parent),
                    ui(new Ui::gsDesign)
                    {
                    printf("Can we make it here...n");
                    ui->setupUi(this);
                    printf("Maybe here...n");
                    @

                    perhaps you should rename the UI class in the ui file:

                    @
                    namespace Ui {
                    class gsDesignUI;
                    }
                    @

                      Gerolf:

                      I reimplemented the constructor to look like what you posted. I also changed some slot/signal connectors based on trying to build this on a Mac (there were some on_xxx_valueChanged functions created and similar slot/signal connections defined in the .ui file. Linux did not warn and compiled and ran fine. Mac complained, but compiled and ran fine. Windows did not complain and compiled, but did not execute). When I made the change of removing the connections from the .ui file, I could then enter the constructor with the implementation you describe. I still cannot get past the call to setupUi.

                      Now, what would renaming the class get me?

                        Here is the compilation and an example run. I decorated the code with some printf's to show what is being called when. I do not understand the problem with QApplication as it was created many lines before the error shows up...

                          You can see in you output that the constructor of you "GsdState" is called before "Next line is call to new QApplication().". This is wrong. You have to create the QApplication object before "GsdState".

                            [quote author="dnadave" date="1307582535"]Here is the compilation and an example run. I decorated the code with some printf's to show what is being called when. I do not understand the problem with QApplication as it was created many lines before the error shows up...

                            We are at a point, where only a small example (fully compilable, showing the problem) could help analyzing.

                              Gerolf:

                              I'm working on creating a small example that both looks like my project and replicates the problem.

                              In the meantime, it looks like the problem centers around the fact that the application resides in a global instance and QApplication is not set up when the thread is attached. What I mean is when you look at the output below, you can see that we enter process attach, start the initialization process, create a new QApplication and then when we try to instantiate a new instance of the main application class, we enter thread attach and the application then thinks that QApplication has not been instantiated and dies.

                              Not sure why this works on Linux and Mac, but not on Windows.

                                Hi.

                                I'd like to up this post : doesn't seem to have any solution here and, as it happens, i have the exact same problem : the setupUi method crashed without apparent reason.
                                And this only happen on Windows and on Release mode (the bug isn't reproductible on Linux, or on Windows in debug mode).
                                I'm using Qt4.8.0, and I'm compiling with the MinGW provided with QtCreator.

                                Here is some code from the header :

                                @#ifndef LEVELEDITOR_H
                                #define LEVELEDITOR_H

                                #include <QWidget>
                                #include "texturemanager.h"
                                #include "objectmanager.h"

                                namespace Ui {
                                class LevelEditor;
                                }

                                class LevelEditor : public QWidget
                                {
                                Q_OBJECT

                                public:
                                explicit LevelEditor(QWidget *parent = 0);
                                ~LevelEditor();

                                void Save(const QString& filepath);
                                bool Load(const QString& name, const QString& filepath);
                                void Test(const QString& workdir);
                                

                                public slots:
                                void TextureAdded(QString);

                                private slots:
                                void PickNewTexture(void);
                                void TextureListIndexChanged(int);
                                void TextureListUpdated(void);

                                void CreateNewAnimation(void);
                                void AddAnimationToList(QString);
                                
                                void ObjectListIndexChanged(int);
                                void CreateNewObject(void);
                                void ObjectListUpdated(void);
                                
                                void LandscapeChanged(QString);
                                void UpdateLevelSize(void);
                                void AddEntity(void);
                                void DelEntity(void);
                                

                                private:
                                Ui::LevelEditor *ui;
                                TextureManager _textureManager;
                                ObjectManager _objectManager;
                                AnimationManager _animationManager;
                                QString _currentLevel;
                                };

                                #endif // LEVELEDITOR_H@

                                And here is the constructor :

                                @LevelEditor::LevelEditor(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::LevelEditor)
                                {
                                qDebug() << "test1";
                                ui->setupUi(this);
                                qDebug() << "test2";
                                }@

                                And here goes the application output :
                                @test1
                                The program has unexpectedly finished.

                                If, during the past half year, you found something that may cause this, I'd be glad to know.
                                If not, then you're not the only one who met with this problem. And it may be interesting to get to the bottom of it :) !
