    You should define a target, eg

    @
    TARGET = egon
    @

    I think, otrherwise you exe/dll will have no name which makes no sense.

    @
    DEPENDPATH += src
    ui
    INCLUDEPATH
    +=
    .
    src
    @

    What does the *+= * mean in line 4?

      It is rather the '' at the end of line 2 (or at line 7 in your original posting) what seems to be a mistake.

        you mean, he meant:

        @
        DEPENDPATH += src
        ui

        INCLUDEPATH += .
        src
        @

          What does "I cannot build anything" mean?

            When I click on build there is nothing active in the menu.

            I have just loaded the pro file is this enough

                Yes . My one thought is it isn't a PRO file. When I try and save it it only gives me an option to save it as a txt file. When I see it in the editor it does not have any highlight colours .

                Thanks

                  Well, just try to run
                  @qmake@
                  in your current folder. Depending on your platform it will create a makefile that you can then try to build using
                  @make@

                  (on windows, use qmake -tp vc and then open visual project)
                  => if qmake complains, you can post its log here
                  => if make complains, you can post its log here

                  If you work inside QtCreator, can't help you however.

                    Note that a .pro IS a simple text file. Extension is just a meaningful way to identify it and syntax highlighting is highly dependant of your editor.
                    => If you're on windows, it might be that it has a hidden extension (dor a dir in command line in this folder)
                    => you can still build it using qmake by specifying full name : this will try to evaluate toto.txt as a project file.
                    @qmake toto.txt@

                      And please do not write topics in all caps. It's regarded like "shouting loudly" in a real-world conversation (and hard to read anyways). I've fixed it for now.

                      Also, a more meaningful topic would help too. The one you've chosen is quite general.

                      Please keep this in mind for future threads. Thanks.

                      For your problem: look at VCsala's and Gerolfs answers, as well as on florent's, they're right!
