        Do you need Q_OBJECT in 'sub' class ? This is the source of your error.

          i need to send signal in both base and sub classes,
          so i wrote the Q_OBJECT in both class.

          if writing Q_OBJECT in both class is impossible, how can i send signal in both classes?

          build error is also happen when writing emit function to send signal without Q_OBJECT in Sub class

          -------------------------------Sub.h------------------------------------
          class Sub : public Base
          {
          .......
          signals:
          void sendSigKey(const QString &key) const;
          };

          -------------------------------Sub.c---------------
          void Sub::send()
          {
          emit sendSigKey("asdf");
          }
          --------------------------------Error------------
          error: undefined reference to `Sub::sendSigKey(QString const&) const'

            Did you do a clean qmake ?

            Delete your build folder
            Run qmake
            Build your project.

            After that i think you have to remove the const qualifier in your constructor !

              Hi,

              To add to my fellow, when adding/removing the Q_OBJECT macro you need to run qmake once to update the build part. Then it should build cleanly
