    Hey guys!

    Need some help on how to get a global QVector and a struct working without LNK2001/LNK2005 errors.

    Here is my global.h file:

    #ifndef GLOBAL_H
    #define GLOBAL_H
    
    #include <QString>
    #include <QVector>
    
    struct gUser {
        int id;
        QString name;  
    };
    
    extern QVector<gUser> Users;
    
    #endif // GLOBAL_H
    

    In my cpp files i include the global.h from above and get LNK errors. I did try serval other ways but non of them works so far. Is there something wrong with my declaration or? I don't know and hope some onre here can help me out.

    Thanks!

      @qDebug said in Global QVector struct how to?:

      extern QVector<gUser> Users;

      One (and only one) .cpp file must define storage for the variable:

      QVector<gUser> Users;
      

      The fact that it is a vector of structs is not relevant.

        Thank you, that solved my problem :)

        Now that you wrote it, i remember how it worked in c++. Only one cpp file QVector<gUser> Users; and others extern QVector<gUser> Users; for access.

        Thanks!
