To clarify that a bit: It is a known problem that you have to run  
qmake manually (e.g. via the Build->Run qmake menu), if you add the  
Q_OBJECT macro to a file that didn't have it before. After you have  
done that once, adding slots or signals should automatically result in  
moc being called at build time. (There should be a rule in the  
Makefile, similar to
moc_mainwindow.cpp: mainwindow.h
         /Developer/Tools/Qt/moc $(DEFINES) $(INCPATH) -D__APPLE__ - 
D__GNUC__ mainwindow.h -o moc_mainwindow.cpp
for that.)
