Compiler: Qt
Language: C++

This program is just not for me haha, this is the third time I’ve had to ask for help, and it’s driving me crazy (thank you everyone for being so patient and helpful with me)

I tried running my program (again for the millionth time) Since I can’t get the ostream sorted out, I commented out all the cout functions in my main so I could deal with the rest of my code. But when I try to run it I get collect2: ld returned 1 exit status in my build issues.

I switched to Compile Output… and gosh..

Running build steps for project List…
Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.

The process “C:/Qt/2010.05/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe” exited with
code %2. Error while building project List (target: Desktop) When
executing build step ‘Make’

That’s basically what I got. I have 2 header files and one source file.
Headers: ListNode.h and list.h and my cpp is main.cpp

everything links to each other, so i don’t understand why it’s giving me undefined reference errors.

All my other friends have pretty much given up on this assignment, and I refuse to give up. I just won’t go to bed tonight ha. Thanks again for the help!

EDIT::– CODE

ListNode.h

#ifndef LISTNODE_H
#define LISTNODE_H

template<typename NODETYPE> class List;

I won’t put everything, because it’s a lot… this is the List.h..I can only imagine how much of it is still wrong, but I can’t check because the error…

    It seems like you forgot to create your List::getNewNode function.
