Qt Unresolved External Symbol - c++

Question

I have classes, ImageLabel, and ChoiceLabel. ChoiceLabel inherits from ImageLabel. When I try to make a new ChoiceLabel, I get an Unresolved External Symbol error. Here are the relevant files:
imagelabel.h
#ifndef IMAGELABEL_H
#define IMAGELABEL_H
#include <QLabel>
class QPixmap;
class QStringList;
class QFileDialog;
class QResizeEvent;
class ImageLabel : public QLabel

protected:
virtual int heightForWidth( int width ) const;
virtual QSize sizeHint() const;

void setPixmap ( const QPixmap & );
void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *);
private:

};
#endif // IMAGELABEL_H

};
#endif // CHOICELABEL_H

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent)
{
choiceLabelA = new ChoiceLabel; //the problem occurs here
resultLabel = new ImageLabel;
centralWidget = new QWidget(this);
this->setCentralWidget(centralWidget);
gridLayout = new QGridLayout(centralWidget);
gridLayout->addWidget(resultLabel);
}

dialog.setNameFilter("Images (*.png *.jpg)");
dialog.setDirectory("C:/Users/FrankFritz/Desktop/qt/uglypictures");
if (dialog.exec()){
imageFiles = dialog.selectedFiles();
QPixmap pixmap = imageFiles->first();
setPixmap(pixmap);
}
}
void ChoiceLabel::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *ev)
{

if (ev->key() == Qt::Key_Right){

}

Most probably
ChoiceLabel::ChoiceLabel():
imageFiles()
{
setFocusPolicy(Qt::StrongFocus);
}
ChoiceLabel::ChoiceLabel(QWidget *parent): ImageLabel(parent)
{
setFocusPolicy(Qt::StrongFocus);
}
Forgot to call the base class' constructor. Also forgot to specify a parent QWidget * for ChoiceLabel in its own constructor.
See What are the rules for calling the superclass constructor? for reference.
