        well if you can attempt to build it and see why the binary simply just exits without ever showing a window. then that might help. The entire project is like 300kb.

          The binary can't be built since you have defined two main function, your test should be an independent sub-project. Anyway once that removed, it builds and run fine at least on OS X.

          On a side note you should not have .pro.user files in your repository it's only valid for your computer

            I don't have two main functions.

            One of those is commented out.

              it was those test files like you said. Maybe they had main's?

                Then your git repository might not be up to date. Currently there's a main in main.cpp and one in diff_match_past_test.cpp

                  thanks, you found the solution. I wasn't aware that the test.cpp's would build, just not run my app.

                    It's listed in SOURCES so it will build.

                    What you can to about it is to make a test case project for each of your tests.

                      thanks, I think the issue was two fold.

                      One I had the .user file

                      and

                      two

                      I had other main's in my test...cpp

                      Thanks, but it's working now. You were a tremendous help. I'll reincorporate those other functions later.
