Sometimes <iostream> found and compiles and sometimes not!

andreyc

Do you use qmake to generate Makefiles ?
Do you use the same qmake ?
What is a compiler command line for both cases ?

BOHICAMAN

For both I used Qt Creator (ver 3.1.1 that came w/Qt 5.3) not the Command Line version. The compiler used is the default listed in the "kit":

Desktop Qt5.3.0MSVC2013OpenGL64bit

andreyc

When you run build in QtCreator it prints all output from qmake and make into "Compile output" panel at the bottom of a screen.
You can find "Ctrl+F" the exact compiler line that generates an error and compare it with a good behaving program.

Unfortunately, most of it is still new to me!! Compile Output shows the following:

The error shows up in .cpp file on line 3 and is only one. Just can't find <iostream>

Here's the compiler output from the good program:

andreyc

Could you add an output of good compile log from other program.
And how do you include iostream in both cases

andreyc

Could you rebuild good program.
Right click on it in Project view and select "Rebuild".

BOHICAMAN

Here's part of the coding from the "bad" program
@// A program that uses the Vehicle CLASS.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//Declare the Vehicle Class.
class Vehicle {
public:
int passengers; //number of passengers.
int fuelcap; //fuel capacity.
int mpg; //fuel consumption in mpg.
};

int main() /The main() function creates 2 instances of Vehicle called minivan and sportscar.
The code within main() accesses the instances of variables associated
with minivan & sportscar, assigning them values and then using those variables.
The code inside main() can access the members of Vehicle because they add_reference
declared public./

Are there any differences in the .pro files except of different source files ?

BOHICAMAN

Nope, identical.

What if you try to run "Clean", "Run qmake", and "Rebuild" for both projects.

BOHICAMAN

Didn't work. Now neither compiles. I get that same error message for both. No idea what's wrong!!

andreyc

Do you have iostream file on your computer ?

[EDIT] What version of Qt do you use ?

BOHICAMAN

Yea, looked it up and it's in the "include" folder of MSVC2013

Qt 5.3.0 using QtCreator 3.1.1

It's been working fine till today. Haven't added any new programs, updates, etc. Nothings changed that I know of. Also checked and no viruses according to Norton!

BOHICAMAN

Also, the "good" program was re-compiling until just now. Beats me what's going on!!

BOHICAMAN

I've got to head to a meeting now. I really appreciate all your help and assistance!! If you think of anything else, I'll be checking in later. Again, thanks!!

Try to add to you .pro file

INCLUDEPATH += C:/path/to/MSVC2013/include
DEPENDPATH += C:/path/to/MSVC2013/include

BOHICAMAN

Nope, didn't work.
