Embedding C++ Objects into QML with Context Properties

I reused your qml file to start a fresh project in QtCreator.

Please find below the files I used to compile and use the application successfully:

the project file: test.pro

# The .cpp file which was generated for your project. Feel free to hack it.
SOURCES += main.cpp

# Please do not modify the following two lines. Required for deployment.
include(qtquick2applicationviewer/qtquick2applicationviewer.pri)
qtcAddDeployment()

HEADERS += myclass.h

myclass.h:

#include <QObject>
#include <qdebug.h>

class MyClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

public slots:
    void doStuffFromQmlSlot()
    {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
    }

public:
    MyClass()
    {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
    }
};

main.cpp:

#include <QtGui/QGuiApplication>
#include "qtquick2applicationviewer.h"
#include <QQmlContext>
#include "myclass.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyClass myClass;

    QtQuick2ApplicationViewer viewer;
    viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myclass", &myClass);
    viewer.setMainQmlFile(QStringLiteral("qml/main.qml"));
    viewer.showExpanded();

    return app.exec();
}

and qml/main.qml being exactly the snippet provided in your question

if you start the project using QtCreator you'll also have the qtquick2applicationviewer/ folder ready to be used. Then qmake && make && ./test will launch the application. If you click on the text element you'll get:

MyClass::MyClass() 
void MyClass::doStuffFromQmlSlot()
