[solved] Error multiple definition of static member of class

LeslieS (10)
I would like to have a class member pointer static so that I can access it via classname::pointer.
In the following code titleLabel is a pointer to a QLabel that I would like to make static.
I get an error
:-1: error: mainwindowii.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `ui::titlelabel'; main.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here

What am I doing wrong?

Move line 45 to the corresponding cpp file.

Doing that removes the multiple def error (thank you)
