Compilation of QT Property Browser

Question

Hello all,

I am using QT 4 (the latest GPL version released by Nokia)

I download QT Property Browser from doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtpropertybrowser/index.html

I am using VC++ 2008, with QT Visual Studio Add-In Installed.

I try to build simple project, under qtpropertybrowser solution.

Here is the error message I obtained :

1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: simple, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

Any suggestion to pass the compilation will be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

OK. Finally I figure out the workaround, I need to manually run the following command before clicking on the build all button.

moc qttreepropertybrowser > qttreepropertybrowser.moc
moc qtpropertymanager > qtpropertymanager.moc
moc qteditorfactory > qteditorfactory.moc

Not sure why. QT people should include these command in their build file :(
