question about moving files to another location

rock37

Hi again,

i started a fresh project to get my hands dirty to get to know the basics of Qt (finally), now i create a resource folder and in the resource folder i created a form folder where i put my mainwindow.ui file into. he compiles and links but i get this error:

:-1: error: [CMakeFiles/test-01_autogen.dir/build.make:71: CMakeFiles/test-01_autogen] Error 1

i hope someone can tell me what i am doing wrong here because the error message tells me nothing about what i could have done wrong.

best regards,
stuv

Hi,

You should post your CMakeLists.txt content.

That error message is not enough.

I might be wrong, but the generated file will likely be in the in a different folder with respect to the class that will use it hence your error.
