qmake_image_collection.cpp gives me a compiling error

[vfernandez]

When I include any image (using IMAGES+=... in src.pro) on my QT 4 project I get a compiling error in the qmake_image_collection.cpp generated by uic:

I have a fresh installation of QT 4.1 compiled by myself under /usr/lib/qt4. Of course I've set QTDIR to that directory and included it in the PATH. I also tried earlier with precompiled packages for SUSE 10.0 (which I'm using) getting the same error. I don't understand why this happens. Any idea?

It looks like it tries to use Qt3 support module, try adding "QT += qt3support" to your .pro file. You can also use resources instead, if you prefer pure Qt4 solution.

Thanks! Now it works! Adding "QT += qt3support" made it compile but I prefer the second option. I've created a .qrc file and added it to src.pro with "RESOURCES += src.qrc" and now the icons work. Cool! The only problem is KDevelop doesn't seem to support "RESOURCES", so I have to manually edit the src.pro to add it til the next release of KDevelop is out.
