ui_*.h Files generated in wrong directory

Tomax63

Hello all

Each time I compile my program, the new ui_*h-Files are generated in the Release-path.
By this, they are not included in the compiling process and my updates in the *ui-Files are not taken over into the EXE.

I have to compile first, copy the files manually into the project directory every time and recompile before the changes are taken into the exe.

What to do?

Thanks,

Thomas

Strange....

I just deleted the ui_* - files from the project directory and then the compilation included the changes in the .ui files immediately.

Seems to be solved...

@Tomax63

Yeah you have to be careful with that.

If you use shadow building (i.e. build dir is outside source dir), but have generated files or Makefiles in the source dir, strange things may happen.

But good you figured it out :)

So please mark this topic as SOLVED too. Thanks
