missing derived class with QObject

Question

I am getting the error ~mainwindow.cpp:9: error: redefinition of 'MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*)' MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : and I am pretty sure it is complaining about the wrong derived class name. The base class is MainWindow but I do not see what the derived class would be.

//mainwindow.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QNetworkAccessManager>
#include <QUrl>
#include <QNetworkRequest>
#include <QNetworkReply>
#include <QImageReader>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void coreEng::requestPage(){
    QUrl url("http://www.nyctelecomm.com");
    QNetworkReply* reply = nam->get(QNetworkRequest(url));
}

void coreEng::finishedSlot(QNetworkReply* reply){

    QVariant statusCodeV = reply->attribute(QNetworkRequest::HttpStatusCodeAttribute);

    QVariant redirectionTargetUrl = reply->attribute(QNetworkRequest::RedirectionTargetAttribute);

    if (reply->error() == QNetworkReply::NoError)
    {

        QImageReader imageReader(reply);
        QImage pic = imageReader.read();

        QByteArray bytes = reply->readAll();  // bytes
        QString string(bytes); // string
    }

    else
    {

    }

//    delete reply();

}

void MainWindow::on_lcdNumber_overflow()
{

    QByteArray replyData = netReply->readAll();
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    QObject::on_pushButton_clicked(nam, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),
    this, SLOT(finishedSlot(QNetworkReply*)));
}

You have defined MainWindow::MainWindow two times. First in header file and second in source file. That is said in error message.

explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0):
QMainWindow(parent)
    {
        nam = new QNetworkAccessManager();
    }

//

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}
