QProcess Compile Error with Visual Studio 2012

? Offline

When attempting to compile my application I get an error in Windows 7 with VS2012 whereas QProcess is not defined. I traced it down to the define QT_NO_PROCESS found in qprocess.h. But when I try a simple main.cpp program with the following main.pro:

CONFIG += qt
QT += core widgets
SOURCES = main.cpp

it compliles and links fine. When I use the exact main.pro specification with the exception of additional .cpp and .h files I encounter the problem.

I suspect qmake is finding something in one of my several headers or source files which causes QT_NO_PROCESS to be defined.

Remove:
@
CONFIG += qt
@

Add:
@
QT += core gui widgets
@

Have you compiled Qt yourself? Where and how does the compilation fail?

I tried your suggested changes to the main.pro but same error occurs. I am using a prebuilt Qt distribution for Windows provided by my company IT department. BTW - this application compiles and links fine in Linux.

Here is a snippet from the compiler error:

mainwindow.cpp
.\mainwindow.cpp(261) : error C2514: 'QProcess' : class has no constructors

As I mentioned in my previous post, QT_NO_PROCESS does not get defined in Windows. My simple example works fine but the more complicated application which includes a wide-range of Qt classes does not.

I did a detailed analysis of the compile arguments from both my simple program and the more complicated one and there are differences. That's why I maintain, something I am using or including in the complicated application is tripping up defining QT_NO_PROCESS.

Thanks for your help.
