I found a post here that had some example code similar to what is in qcumber.h, so i changed qcumber.h to read:

Qt Code:
  1. #ifdef _QCUMBER_BUILD_
  2. #if (defined(QT_DLL) || defined(QT_SHARED)) && !defined(QT_PLUGIN)
  3. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT
  4. #else
  5. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT
  6. #endif
  7. #else
  8. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT
  9. #endif
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

instead of

Qt Code:
  1. #ifdef _QCUMBER_BUILD_
  2. #if (defined(QT_DLL) || defined(QT_SHARED)) && !defined(QT_PLUGIN)
  3. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT
  4. #else
  5. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT
  6. #endif
  7. #else
  8. #define QCUMBER_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT
  9. #endif
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

it works now, so i'll take it, but i'm really not sure if that's the proper fix.
