SOLVED: CMake link errors (A.K.A .moc handling)

[pdoria]

Hi guys!
I'm back after a long time just to "bug" you with my problems with migration from qmake to cmake (namely from Kdev3 to Kdev4) ...

This is my CMakeLists.txt :

project(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)
 
include_directories(${QT_INCLUDES} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
 
set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS crc_utils.cpp garmin_utils.cpp main.cpp server.cpp teltonikaunit.cpp)
set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS crc16.h crc_utils.h garmin.h garmin_utils.h properties.h server.h teltonikaunit.h)
 
add_definitions(-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT)
 
qt4_wrap_cpp(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS})
 
#qt4_automoc(${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS})
 
add_executable(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTNETWORK_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTSQL_LIBRARY})

project(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)

include_directories(${QT_INCLUDES} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})

set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS crc_utils.cpp garmin_utils.cpp main.cpp server.cpp teltonikaunit.cpp)
set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS crc16.h crc_utils.h garmin.h garmin_utils.h properties.h server.h teltonikaunit.h)

add_definitions(-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT)

qt4_wrap_cpp(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS})

#qt4_automoc(${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS})

add_executable(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTNETWORK_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTSQL_LIBRARY})

On the linker phase I get this:

Searching the project's tree I see that no .moc files are being created!
I assumed that this line

qt4_wrap_cpp(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS})

qt4_wrap_cpp(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS})

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

would take care of business (as per much googling...)

I'm lost here and would really appreciate any help

Best regards,

well replying to myself...

this is how the problem was solved in CMakeLists.txt :

project(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)
 
include_directories(${QT_INCLUDES} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR})
 
set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_SRCS crc_utils.cpp garmin_utils.cpp main.cpp server.cpp teltonikaunit.cpp)
set(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS crc16.h crc_utils.h garmin.h garmin_utils.h properties.h server.h teltonikaunit.h)
 
add_definitions(-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT)
 
qt4_wrap_cpp(teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_CPP_FILES ${teltonika_tcp_server3_garmin_support_MOC_HDRS})

Hope this helps another poor wretch (a.k.a. cmake newbie) like me to overcome linking errors..

[Daneel Olivaw]

Well, I know I am 2 years too late for this but I figured some poor wretch like me too would get help on this.
Ironically, I came across this post AFTER I solved my problem.
I had the same problem of "undefined vtable reference" and the most common error which results in this error is that you have not defined the constructors/destructors or any virtual functions.
The mistake that I did was I did not set the headers with QOBJECT macros and wrap them with qt4_wrap_cpp. This gave the undefined vtable reference error.
So, if you have QOBJECT macro in a filled Launcher.h, make sure you do this in your CMakeLists.txt :

SET(QtTest_HDRS ${QtTest_HDRS} Launcher.h)

QT4_WRAP_CPP(QtTest_HDRS_MOC ${QtTest_HDRS})

I wish I had found this thread earlier. Now I hope this will help someone.

[mchome]

I have, I think, the same problem as Daneel, but I don't understand his answer.
I program using Qt Creator, that does not involve any CMakeLists.txt, AFAIK.
More precisely I use Qt creator 2.4.1 and Qt 4.8.1 in an Apple system, along with GCC compiler.

I have created a program that works well, and does not make use of signals/slots yet, but I plan to introduce them now.
Just adding the Q_OBJECT macro causes the following error message:

:-1: error: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

that corresponds to the following problems shown in the Compile Output:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"vtable for CLineChart", referenced from:
CLineChart::CLineChart(QWidget*)in clinechart.o
CLineChart::CLineChart(QWidget*)in clinechart.o
NOTE: a missing vtable usually means the first non-inline virtual member function has no definition.
"CLineChart::staticMetaObject", referenced from:
CLineChart::tr(char const*, char const*)in clinechart.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [TestLisneChart.app/Contents/MacOS/TestLisneChart] Error 1

Does someone have any suggestion for me?
