=== ```ComponentBase``` should be inherited AFTER ```QObject``` ===
==== Error message ====
{{{
>moc_Component.cpp(63): error C2039: 'staticMetaObject' : is not a member of 'pacpus::ComponentBase'

>          ComponentBase.h(60) : see declaration of 'pacpus::ComponentBase'
}}}

==== Solution ====

Your class declaration should look like:
{{{
class Component
    : QObject
    , ComponentBase
{
};
}}}

=== Class inheriting from ```QObject``` should be ```moc```-ed ===
==== Error message ====

}}}

==== Solution ====

* Check that you use ```moc``` tool on your class, i.e. file ```moc_Component.cpp``` is created and linked to the target.
1. Add ```Component.h``` to CMake variable ```MOC_FILES```.
2. Add ```${MOC_FILES}``` to the list of sources used by ```pacpus_add_library``` or ```pacpus_add_executable```.

=== Class should use ```pacpus_plugin``` ===
==== Error message ====
Similar to the previous one, but concerning ```ComponentPlugin```.

==== Solution ====
* Check that you use ```pacpus_plugin``` CMake macro and that generated files ```${PLUGIN_CPP}``` and ```${PLUGIN_HDR}``` are compiled and correspoding objects linked to the target.

=== ```addInputs()``` / ```addOutputs``` can be used only in a class derived from ```QObject``` ===

==== Solution ====

Inherit your class from ```QObject```.
