Subfolder Organization

kuraudo

I've reviewed several similar questions and their answers and nothing I've tried thus far has worked.

I'm starting a Qt project that will be quite large in scope. To keep things better organized, I intend on utilizing subdirectories within my Qt project. Things are not off to a good start.

I am using: Qt Creator 2.8.1 based on Qt 5.1.1

Here is what I've come up with based on previous answers I've seen:

feather.pro:

@QT += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = feather
TEMPLATE = app

include(gui/gui.pri)

SOURCES += main.cpp@

main.cpp:

@#include <QApplication>
#include "gui/mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();

return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}@

gui/gui.pri:

@SOURCES += gui/mainwindow.cpp
HEADERS += gui/mainwindow.h@

gui/mainwindow.h

@#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H@

gui/mainwindow.cpp

@#include "mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
}@

This is about as barebones as it gets. The error received is:

bq. Error: dependent '..\feather\mainwindow.h' does not exist. jom:
C:\Users\Zac\Dev\Qt\build-feather-Desktop_Qt_5_1_1_MSVC2012_32bit-Debug\Makefile
[debug] Error 2 16:12:50: The process
"C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe" exited with code 2. Error
while building/deploying project feather (kit: Desktop Qt 5.1.1
MSVC2012 32bit) When executing step 'Make'

The error is the same if I use the standard feather.pro:

@QT += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSIN, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = feather
TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp
gui/mainwindow.cpp
HEADERS += gui/mainwindow.h@

I don't know why it's dependent on feather/mainwindow.h instead of feather/gui/mainwindow.h. Any advice?

Hi,

you should add this line in .pro file

@
INCLUDEPATH += gui
@
