[SOLVED] Problem compiling with Qt Creator

z0rgy

Hi guys I am having trouble compiling a Qt application. The problem is simple but I dont know of a solution.
QtCreator cant include correct include path, how can I make it do that?
I get the error, file not found.
I am compiling on windows 7

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug

You apparently misspelled QElapsedTimer and you didn't include <QFuture>.

Thanks for your reply :) I managed to get on a bit further with the compilation.
I now have the following error:

RabinBenchMark.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
RabinBenchMark.cpp:35: error: invalid use of void expression
RabinBenchMark.cpp:35: warning: unused variable 'future'
RabinBenchMark.cpp: In function 'void concurrentFunction(QElapsedTimer*)':
RabinBenchMark.cpp:63: warning: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'qint64'
mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug/RabinBenchMark.o] Error 1

I have this on line 35:
@
//What is wrong from this statement? I got it from the Qt API
QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(concurrentFunction(&timer));

// This is the function run in parallel
void concurrentFunction(QElapsedTimer *timer) {
if(getchar() == 'p') {
print();
printf("Time elapsed so far: %u miliseconds\n", timer->elapsed());
}
}
@

How can I solve the invalid use of void expression?

Ah okay, I see my mistake,

@
//Wrong
QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(concurrentFunction(&timer));
//Right
QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(concurrentFunction, &timer);

Thanks for your help!
