Unknown type name issue
-
Hello there,
I am starting a project and I am having trouble compiling it. Every time I hit the 'run' button, it fails to compile and throws me the following error:
/Users/XXXX/Desktop/Development/QT dev/quarkBrowser_v1/mainview.h:22: error: unknown type name 'tranquility'
tranquility *tranq;
^I'm not sure what it means by 'unknown type name 'tranquility''. tranquility is a class I made based of a QWidget. I am trying to add a tranquility widget to my MainView class (QMainWindow) when I receive the error.
Here is my code:
mainview.h:
@#ifndef MAINVIEW_H
#define MAINVIEW_H#include <QXmlQuery>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QXmlSerializer>
#include <QXmlResultItems>
#include <QStackedWidget>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QWebView>#include "tranquility.h"
class MainView : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECTpublic:
MainView(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainView();tranquility *tranq; QStackedWidget *stack;private:
};
#endif // MAINVIEW_H
@mainview.cpp:
@#include "mainview.h"MainView::MainView(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
stack = new QStackedWidget;tranq = new tranquility;
stack->addWidget(tranq);
setCentralWidget(stack);
}MainView::~MainView()
{}
@tranquility.h:
@
#ifndef TRANQUILITY_H
#define TRANQUILITY_H#include <QWidget>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPointer>
#include <QLineEdit>
#include <QWebView>
#include <QToolBar>
#include <QObject>
#include <QTextEdit>
#include <QKeySequence>
#include <QActionGroup>
#include <QTimer>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QTabWidget>
#include <QToolButton>
#include <QTabBar>#include "browsetab.h"
class tranquility : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit tranquility(QWidget *parent = 0);QWebView *webView;signals:
public slots:
protected slots:
private:
};
#endif // TRANQUILITY_H
@tranquility.cpp:
@#include "tranquility.h"tranquility::tranquility(QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent)
{}
@The error appears next to 'tranquility *tranq' in mainview.h
I am super stumped, and any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your time! -
This issue of header file not found. Where is your tranquility.h ? Is it in the same directory as MainWindow.h ? If it is in different path just add INCLUDEPATH directive in your .pro file, re-run qmake, build it and run your program.
