steps to reproduce:
- start up qt creator
- create new library -> c++ library
- choose type "qt plugin"
- allow template to make a class derived from QGenericPlugin
- press build
Error:
/home/usr/Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_GCC_64bit-Debug/moc_genericplugin.cpp:164: error: invalid new-expression of abstract class type ‘GenericPlugin’
QT_MOC_EXPORT_PLUGIN(GenericPlugin, GenericPlugin)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Where in this case GenericPlugin is the name it auto created the class of)
attempting to alter the class by following examples in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/plugins-howto.html to the letter results in
/home/usr/Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_GCC_64bit-Debug/moc_qplugin.cpp:93: error: ‘QT_PLUGIN_METADATA_SECTION’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘Q_PLUGIN_METADATA’?
