win32 build stops with linker error

[Peter Kümmel]

I've reached the linking of khtml, but it stops with two
strange linker errors (at least only two):


kio.lib(kio.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: class QString & __thiscall QMap<class QString,class QString>::operator[](class QSt
ring const &)" (??A?$QMap at VQString@@V1@@@QAEAAVQString@@ABV1@@Z) already defined in khtml_printsettings.obj
kio.lib(kio.dll) : error LNK2005: "public: __thiscall QMap<class QString,class QString>::~QMap<class QString,class QString>(v
oid)" (??1?$QMap at VQString@@V1@@@QAE at XZ) already defined in khtml_settings.obj


I think this is because KIO::MetaData (kio/kio/global.h) inherits from QMap.

I've tried without success

1.
declare  template instantiation as imported
class QString;
#if defined(Q_CC_MSVC_NET)
template<class U, class V> class QMap;
extern template __declspec(dllimport) QMap<QString,QString>;
#endif


2. and moving the implementation of MetaData to global.cpp


Here is the end at the moment.

Bye,
Peter
