I guess you will have to do a "make clean; make force-reedit"
in that directories.

Yes, these are the two ways that are in use. There are very
good arguments to include the moc files:

a) It is faster to compile, as the compiler has to parse the
header file only once.
b) The code size is (allegedly :) smaller
c) You can build more than one target in a directory

So it is a good idea to include the mocs instead of using the
moc.cpp approach.


Thanks,
Matthias.
