    Unhappy incomplete type?

    hi,

    me again

    anyone can make a sense on:
    Qt Code:
    1. C:/Users/Tobias/Desktop/Schule/AINF/Diplomarbeit/New01/acting_class.h:21: error: field 'dia_job' has incomplete type
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    qreator says so, but actually i didn't change anything, or just changed something at the ui, then changed is back and now it won't work anymore

    Please post some relevant code. Probably you are missing some include in your .h file.

    You have an include missing. This is a C++ problem, not a Qt one, so it should be in "General Programming" forum, not here. I'm moving it there but next time please open such threads in a proper place.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    my friends,i had a similar case and found this happens when you mix different versions of Qt to compile the project
    they simply change the ui_*.h files or sometimes they empty it and thus this happens. Occured at least with me ..

    they simply change the ui_*.h files
    "They" do? Who is they? Mysterious aliens who live inside your computer and change code while you are sleeping?

    It is more likely that when you changed Qt versions you didn't re-run qmake or didn't rebuild your entire project to ensure that all of the generated files (like the ui_*.h and moc_*.cpp) were brought into sync with the new Qt version.

    you mix different versions of Qt to compile the project
    Never, ever mix different versions of the same libraries, especially Qt, when building a project. Not only are you likely to get incompatible #include files, you are almost certain to get a linker that produces a corrupt executable or a runtime that fails because it can't find the DLLs / shared libraries it needs.

    You can simply change the ui_*.h files
