> Thanks for your reply Morten. Yes the LNK2001 means 'unresolved external symbol'. I had a look in the Qt library, seems that the moc files are generated by running mingw32-make to the project. But I couldn't find the tool to generate these files by hand. Would you please tell me how to moc the source file? I am using the Qt open source edition.
