strange error in compilation

i am having strange error in compilation. I am presenting some part of my header file and output on terminal

Code:

---

#ifndef vA_H
#define vA_H
 
//QT4 includes
#include <QObject>
 
//QGIS includes
#include <qgisapp.h>
#include <qgsmaptool.h>
#include <qgsmapcanvas.h>
#include<qgspoint.h>
#include "../qgisplugin.h"
#include<QToolBar>
//#include "vARubberBand.h"
 
//forward declarations
 
//class QToolBar;
class vARubberBand;
/**

*/
class vA1:public QgsMapTool , public QgisPlugin
{
  Q_OBJECT;
  public:
  vA1(QgisApp * theApplication, QgisIface * theInterface);
  //! Destructor
  virtual ~vA1();
 
	//! inherited from QgsMapTool

part of output is

This code is part of a os project so i will not be in a position to post all code. But what i have figured out is it has got something to do with inclusion of some header files.

Similar code is working fine but i am caught here.

What does your project file look like?

there is no pro file in my code.
As i told earlier this code is part of a open souce gis qgis.There is a perl sript which make changes in major configuration files so i am not worried about them. And it was working fine for earlier work.

Only this time it has stuck. I am not aware about need of project file.
Also before that it was giving me problem with following code

Code:

---

#
nclude <qgisapp.h>
#
#include <qgsmaptool.h>
#
#include <qgsmapcanvas.h>
#
#include<qgspoint.h>
#
#include "../qgisplugin.h"
#
//#include<QToolBar> [COLOR="Red"]no inclusion of QToolBar headers[/COLOR]
#
//#include "vARubberBand.h"
#
 
#
//forward declarations
#
 
#
class QToolBar; [COLOR="Red"]FORWARD DECLARATION OF CLASS
#[/COLOR]
class vARubberBand;
#
/**
#

#

#

#
*/
#
class vA1:public QgsMapTool , public QgisPlugin
#
{
#
  Q_OBJECT;
#
  public:
#
  vA1(QgisApp * theApplication, QgisIface * theInterface);
#
  //! Destructor
#
  virtual ~vA1();
#
 
#
    //! inherited from QgsMapTool

It was reporting about some multiple declarations

That's not good


This line in qmenubar.h:

Code:

---

usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.2//include/QtGui/qmenubar.h:29: error: expected initializer before 'QtGuiModule'

---

is calling macro (it's in qglobal.h):

Code:

---

QT_MODULE(Gui)

---

which translates to:

Code:

---

typedef QtValidLicenseForGuiModule QtGuiModule

---

But QtValidLicenseForGuiModule is defined only if QT_LICENSED_MODULE(Gui) macro is called. And this macro is called only if expression:

Code:

---

QT_EDITION & QT_MODULE_GUI

---

evaluates to true. It evaluates to true only if QT_EDITION equals QT_EDITION_DESKTOPLIGHT or QT_EDITION_OPENSOURCE or QT_EDITION_DESKTOP. And QT_EDITION will be set to QT_EDITION_DESKTOP if you ie. build your project in a standard way:

Code:

---

qmake -project
qmake
make

---

well i accept my arrogance of this aspect and insufficient knowledge of Qt. I will work on it.
project file generated is as

Code:

---

######################################################################
# Automatically generated by qmake (1.07a) Wed Aug 30 15:08:08 2006

but it is still giving same output.

Really? Is "qmenubar.h:29: error: expected initializer before 'QtGuiModule'" still there? Well, in that case I have no more ideas what the solution could be.

As far as the second error is concerned:

Code:

---

va.cpp: In member function 'virtual void vA1::initGui()':
va.cpp:98: error: no matching function for call to 'QAction::QAction(QIcon, const char [4], vA1* const)'
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.2//include/QtGui/qaction.h:173: note: candidates are: QAction::QAction(const QAction&)
...

---

It seems that in line 98 of va.cpp you are calling QAction constructor, but with wrong parameters. There is no QAction(QIcon, const char [4], vA1* const) constructor (at least according to compiler :) ) and it gives you a list of similar ones, which exist.

about QAction constructor error i had checked arguments do match and constructor also exists but it is giving me this error.
Here is snap of that code

Code:

---

void vA1::initGui()
{
 
  // Create the action for tool
  mQActionPointer = new QAction(QIcon(":/va/va.png"),"vA1", this);
  // Set the what's this text

---

At http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qaction.html i found this

Code:

---

Public Functions
 
      QAction ( QObject * parent )
 
      QAction ( const QString & text, QObject * parent )
 
      [COLOR="Blue"]QAction ( const QIcon & icon, const QString & text, QObject * parent )
    [/COLOR]
      ~QAction ()

---

About my other issue i request experienced users to guide me in this.

for isssue

Code:

---

va.cpp: In member function 'virtual void vA1::initGui()':
 
      va.cpp:98: error: no matching function for call to 'QAction::QAction(QIcon, const char [4], vA1* const)'
 
      /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.2//include/QtGui/qaction.h:173: note: candidates are: QAction::QAction(const QAction&)
 
      ...

---

i found that i hadn't included QObject class which i did so up mentioned error went away.

About second issue of

Code:

---

usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.2//include/QtGui/qmenubar.h:29: error: expected initializer before 'QtGuiModule'

---

i changed my header file as

Code:

---

#ifndef vA_H
#define vA_H
 
//QT4 includes
#include <QObject>
 
//QGIS includes
#include <qgisapp.h>
#include <qgsmaptool.h>
#include <qgsmapcanvas.h>
#include<qgspoint.h>
#include "../qgisplugin.h"
 
#include "vARubberBand.h"
;
//forward declarations
 
class QToolBar;// LINE NO 54
 
/**
* \class Plugin
* \brief [name] plugin for QGIS
* [description]
*/
class vA1:public QObject, public QgsMapTool , public QgisPlugin
{
  Q_OBJECT;
  public:

---

i think you will be noticing the semicolon after line

Code:

---

#include "vARubberBand.h"

---

, this is what i did a sort of hit and trial to compile it. It did. If i didn't put this semicolon it give the message

Code:

---

va.cpp line 54: multiple types in one declaration

---

i donot have reasoning for such behaviour. Kindly anyone put some light on this issue. All comments, suggestion and other solutions are welcome

Just add the missing semicolon after your class definition.

thanks jacek!. I couldn't even imagine that this isssue was there.
