    @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 , 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 suspect you have hit the nail on the head....!

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