ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QPushButton' with no type in QT Creator

c++, qt, qt-creator

Solution

I think you are simply missing the appropriate header file. Can you try

#include <QtGui/QtGui>

instead, or if you prefer

#include <QtGui/QPushButton>

Problem

I am running QT Creator on a Linux Ubuntu 9.10 machine. I just got started with QT Creator, and I was going through the tutorials when this error popped up while I was trying to build my project: "ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'QPushButton' with no type". This problem appears in my header file: ``` #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H #define MAINWINDOW_H #include <QtGui/QWidget> namespace Ui { class MainWindow; } class MainWindow : public QWidget { Q_OBJECT public: MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0); ~MainWindow(); public slots: void addContact(); void submitContact(); void cancel(); private: Ui::MainWindow *ui; QPushButton *addButton; QPushButton *submitButton; QPushButton *cancelButton; QLineEdit *nameLine; QTextEdit *addressText; QMap<QString, QString> contacts; QString oldName; QString oldAddress; }; #endif // MAINWINDOW_H ```
