Q_DECLARE_METATYPE is macro expanded as:

Code:

#define Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(TYPE) \
template <> \
struct QMetaTypeId< TYPE > \
{ \
    enum { Defined = 1 }; \
    static int qt_metatype_id() \
    { \
        static QBasicAtomic id = Q_ATOMIC_INIT(0); \
        if (!id) \
           id = qRegisterMetaType< TYPE >(#TYPE); \
       return id; \
    } \
};

i am compiling qt-4.3.0 using XCode 3.0 gcc 4.0.1 on Leopard.

Replace Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QSet<QAccessible::Method>) with the actual code at the place where it fails. Then you'll have a better idea of which line the error refers to.

It sounds like QBasicAtomic or Q_ATOMIC_INIT or qRegisterMetaType is not declared.

yes if all else failed i will try that there is some headers file confusion as i can guess from your hint that may be a few definitions are missing here thanks daved.
