Compiling code with QT3 headers

[Neeko]

Hi there,
I've recently switched from Gnome to KDE, and and trying a little c++ with QT3. I'm not using the GUI designer, as I'd prefer to learn what I was doing before dragging widgets around a form.

Anyway, I'm trying to complie a basic 'hello world' program. I have found the headers in /usr/include/qt3 and the info I have suggests this is the way to compile my program:

g++ -I/usr/include/qt3 -L/usr/lib/qt3 -lqt -o helloworld helloworld.cpp
The compiler spits the dummy and says:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


My helloworld program* is about as simple as it can get:

#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qlabel.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication myapp(argc, argv);
QLabel *mylabel = new QLabel("Helloworld", 0);
mylabel->resize(120, 30);
myapp.setMainWidget(mylabel);
mylabel->show();
return myapp.exec();
}


Can someone give me a clue please?

Thx

Try using -lqt-mt instead. The 'mt' means 'multithreaded', which is what is usually installed.

aye carumba - as simple as that.
Thanks

The easier way to do it would be to place the file in its own directory and simply




qmake -project
qmake
make



:)
