I am a beginner to Qt programming and use codeblocks for my programming. I created 3 files communicate.h,commmunicate.cpp and main.cpp as follows:
communicate.h
#ifndef COMMUNICATE_H
#define COMMUNICATE_H
#include <QWidget>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QLabel>
class Communicate : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
Communicate(QWidget *parent = 0);
private slots:
void OnPlus();
void OnMinus();
private:
QLabel *label;
};
#endif
communicate.cpp
#include "communicate.h"
Communicate::Communicate(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
{
QPushButton *plus = new QPushButton("+", this);
plus->setGeometry(50, 40, 75, 30);
QPushButton *minus = new QPushButton("-", this);
minus->setGeometry(50, 100, 75, 30);
label = new QLabel("0", this);
label->setGeometry(190, 80, 20, 30);
connect(plus, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(OnPlus()));
connect(minus, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(OnMinus()));
}
void Communicate::OnPlus()
{
int val = label->text().toInt();
val++;
label->setText(QString::number(val));
}
void Communicate::OnMinus()
{
int val = label->text().toInt();
val--;
label->setText(QString::number(val));
}
main.cpp
#include "communicate.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
Communicate window;
window.setWindowTitle("Communicate");
window.show();
return app.exec();
}
and its showing errors as follows:

guys please help...cant figure it out...
This is a subtle bug (and probably partly at least a compiler bug) that I've seen before. Since QWidget has a virtual destructor, the compiler needs a vtable for your class. But your class doesn't have any virtual functions, so it didn't build one for your Communicate class.
Add a virtual ~Communicate() {};
to your class, and all will be well.
Yes, it took me some time to figure this out too!
