Why am I getting "undefined reference to vtable..." errors when linking this Qt 5.0 application?
Turns out I forgot:
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
At the top of the CMakeLists.txt file.
I struggled with this for a long time using all the hints published here:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html
And here
https://www.kdab.com/using-cmake-with-qt-5/
What I had to do was specify things in the right order. For example, the following is the top of my CMakeLists.txt. Note that the two CMAKE set directives come before add_executable. Once I did this, I was able to link without undefined symbols and vtable references. I just thought I'd post this for the benefit of others.
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)
set (CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set (CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
add_executable(FHSpectrumSensor wideband_seq_spectrum_sensor.cpp sensor.cpp gui.cpp ${gui_SRC})
Later in the CMakeLists.txt I have the following:
find_package(Qt5Widgets REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5Charts REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5Core REQUIRED)
qt5_use_modules(FHSpectrumSensor Widgets Charts)
qt5_wrap_cpp(gui_SRC gui.h gui.cpp)
That did the trick.
