qt3 using cmake simple application question (problem solved)

[zl2k]

Problem solved. It should be

class WindowBase : public QMainWindow

instead of

class WindowBase : private QMainWindow

Thanks to CMake mail list.

hi, there

I need to write an application in qt3 with cmake and here is my very beginning:
just display a mainwindow and nothing else (the mainwindow is produced
by qt designer windowbase.ui ) I have my own reason to do it in qt3
not in qt4 (for thumbnail view).

During compiling, I get:
-----------------------------
windowbase.h

class WindowBase : private QMainWindow }{...}
-----------------------------

-----------------------------
windowbase.cxx
-----------------------------

I manually create the following files:

window.h

#ifndef WINDOW_H
#define WINDOW_H
#include "windowbase.h"
 
class Window : private WindowBase{
public: //nothing else
public slots: //nothing else
};
#endif

#ifndef WINDOW_H
#define WINDOW_H
#include "windowbase.h"

class Window : private WindowBase{
public: //nothing else
public slots: //nothing else
};
#endif

window.cpp

#include "window.h"
// nothing else

#include "window.h"
// nothing else

#include <config.h>
#endif
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <qapplication.h>
#include "window.h"
#include <qmainwindow.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 QApplication myApp(argc,argv);
 Window * mypWindow = new Window();
 myApp.setMainWidget(mypWindow); //error here, line 23
 mypWindow->show();
 return myApp.exec();
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <config.h>
#endif

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <qapplication.h>
#include "window.h"
#include <qmainwindow.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
 QApplication myApp(argc,argv);
 Window * mypWindow = new Window();
 myApp.setMainWidget(mypWindow); //error here, line 23
 mypWindow->show();
 return myApp.exec();
 return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The CMakeLists.txt is as following (I highly suspect something wrong
here, I stitched the script but not sure what I am doing. And I can't
find any example related to qt3 + cmake + ui anywhere)

Here is the error message I got during compile:

/study3/main.cpp:23: error: 'QWidget' is an inaccessible base of 'Window'
/usr/share/qt3/include/qmainwindow.h:98: error: 'virtual void
QMainWindow::show()' is inaccessible
/study3/main.cpp:24: error: within this context
/study3/main.cpp:24: error: 'QMainWindow' is not an accessible base of 'Window'

/study3/main.cpp:23: error: 'QWidget' is an inaccessible base of 'Window'
/usr/share/qt3/include/qmainwindow.h:98: error: 'virtual void

/study3/main.cpp:24: error: within this context
/study3/main.cpp:24: error: 'QMainWindow' is not an accessible base of 'Window'

But, if I change the line 23 into

WindowBase  * mypWindow = new WindowBase();

WindowBase  * mypWindow = new WindowBase();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

then the program can compile and runs fine.

The Window class inherits from WindowBase and I am suppose to do my
own stuff there (in current case I do nothing). What's wrong with my
code? Thanks for your comments.
