    Can you show the full command line for the compiler call that fails?

        @SPlatten said in fatal error: QColor: No such file or directory:

        -I/usr/include/qt5 -I/usr/include/qt5/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt5/QtCore

        Are these the directories where Qt's include files including for QColor are located?
        How does this command line compare against one issued for a file which does find <QColor>?

          Also in addition to @JonB's questions:
          if you try including another file in the same directory, say:
          #include <QIcon>
          do you get the same error for that file?
          Also what happens if you try compiling a .cpp file instead of a .c file?

            @JonB , the structure of this project contains many sub-projects each with they're own .pro files. I've search all the projects for the same inclusion:

            grep -Rnw ./ -e "#include <QColor>"
            

            And I have found other instances, then checked the .pro content for these and they don't appear to be any different.

            I know this isn't logical, if I go to the local directory containing the .pro for the project I'm having difficulty with and execute:

            make clean
            make depend
            make
            

            It builds with no errors, its the same process from the parent that is when I get the error.

            @SPlatten are you sure, that the subproject has this header marked as HEADER in the pro file ?

                  @JonB , why would one project find it and another doesn't?

                    @JonB , QObject is included and that isn't a problem

                    [Edit] More specifics: The project build structure:

                    Top level .pro A
                      sub-projects B
                       more-sub-projects C
                    

                    If I go to level C and build the project compiles without error, however at level B it does have the error, there is a pro file at each level.

                      @SPlatten
                      And did you compare the command-lines issued at working vs non-working levels for a clue?

                        Because those are two different projects with own pro files if I understood you correctly.
                        If you use subdirs project type then add "QT += gui" in the subprojects pro files where QColor is included (directly or via other header files).

                            @jsulm , I've moved on now, by ditching the header and reference to QColor.
