Library (DLL) issue

Hello!
My program is loading shared libraries (*.dll, *.so, etc) - that works fine - but I do need signal&slots and therefor I have to put Q_OBJECT into my class in the library. The linker does not like that, as the class is declared inside a extern "C" and Q_OBJECT uses template, pure C++ code.

#include <QObject>
#include <QStringList>

extern "C" {
  class ModControl : public QObject {
	Q_OBJECT
	private:
  	bool isCreated;

	public:
  	ModControl();
  	~ModControl();

	public slots:
  	void send(const QStringList &strlArgs);
  };
}


When I'm removing Q_OBJECT, anything compiles and is linked properly.
What can I do?

Because if I would not, there will be a symbol resolving error - On module loading it says "undefined reference _ZY10ModControl" - putting the class into a extern "C" solves that problem.
