TROUBLE MIGRATING CODE from VS2008 to QT

[lola]

Hi, i'm new in QT and I have this problem.
I developed a C++ program using Visual Studio 2008, I use OpenGL for graphics and GLUI for user interface.
I would like to use QT for user interface because it seems to be easier and it looks better than GLUI.
My program uses a .lib for solving a numerical problem (arpack++), so I have some .h and some .libs besides
my own .h and .cpp files.
So, I created a new proyect, I added the .h and .cpp files and I modified the .pro file for writting the LIBS+= instruction.
When I compile the program I get a lot of compile errors like this one:
C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/System/././ARPACK++//arrseig.h:22: error: new.h: No such file or directory

arrseig.h is a .h file form arpack++ dll and it work fine in VisualStudio (they are the same files, without modification),
and new.h should be included in QT (it is a .h file that comes with c++).

Does someone knows if I shoul include something or configure something such that QT can use the c++ default headers????

Please help me , I've spend a week trying to solve this problem....
THANKS!!!!!

I'm using Qt Creator 1.3.0

Use the INCLUDEPATH directive in the project file to point the compiler to where the header files for your libraries reside.

Thank you for your answer, I was googling and I found out a comment that said that it should be written #include <new> instead of #include <new.h> and doing that I solved that error.

But now, I got 500 new errors of variables and methods that "was not declared in this scope". It's true that those variables were not declared in the .h file where the error is indicated, but they are declared in the .h files defined in the #include.

I'm almost giving myself up with QT . I thought it was gonna be easier.

Can someone help me?????

Your problem is not with Qt but with expecting that your compiler will depart on a quest of finding files that happen to declare the missing symbols. Do as I told you in my last post and your problems will go away.

I already do that, in the .pro I wrote the INCLUDEPATH += instruction with the address to the .h files, it still doesn't work..

[wysota]

Please answer the following questions:
1. What does the INCLUDEPATH statement in your project look like?
2. What do the #include statements in files that you know are included (like the aforementioned new.h) look like?
3. Where in the file system are the files the compiler is able to find and that are containing inclusions to other files that can't be found?
4. Where in the file system are the files containing the missing symbols?
5. What is the path of the directory containing your .pro file?

ok, here it goes:
1. The includepath looks like this:
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Documents and Settings\Susy\Desktop\System\libs"\
"C:\Documents and Settings\Susy\Desktop\System"
2. For example, the include statements at arlsmat.h file are:
#include "arlspen.h"

#ifndef ARLSMAT_H
#define ARLSMAT_H
#include <stddef.h>
#include "arch.h"
#include "armat.h"
#include "arhbmat.h"
#include "arerror.h"
#include "blas1c.h"
#include "superluc.h"
#include "arlspdef.h"
#include "arlutil.h"
and the error is :C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/System/arlsmat.h:120: error: 'n' was not declared in this scope.
When I go to the option "Follow symbol under cursor", it goes to the definition of variable 'n' in armat.h

3. adn 4. All files are in the same folder, in the folder of the project, that will be: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\System

5. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\System

Thanks for helping me

[wysota]

So what's exactly the point of adding directories to INCLUDEPATH if no relevant files are there?

[lola]

Sorry, i had a typing mistake at point 1, the include path is this (I textualy copied it)
INCLUDEPATH += "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\System\libs"\
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\System"

So, in the libs folder are the .lib of arpack++

[wysota]

Try placing all those files in a directory without spaces in its name and try again.

Done, same 500 errors

[wysota]

What if you rename armat.h to armat.h_? Do you get a message about a missing file? If so, then your problem is unrelated to file paths but rather to file contents.
