    1. Close Creator
    2. Delete .pro.user and all Makefiles in the source directory
    3. Delete all build directories
    4. Move the project to a directory without spaces and special characters in its name
    5. Try again

    Regards

    @aha_1980 Thanks for the idea but unfortunately it didn't work, I tried doing what you recommended at moved it to my desktop but I'm getting the same error. Unless you count underscores I don't believe there were any special characters in the path from /GBusArtifact/ onwards anyways, which is as far up as the path goes.

      C:\Users\424997\Qt Projects\product_800b_rapi_fromZip\800B_Release_RP#2_3_1\projects\projects\build-product_800b_rapi-Desktop_Qt_5_6_3_MSVC2015_64bit-Debug

      Not underscores, but the space in "Qt Projects" and the # could make problems.

      If that all doesn't help, you would need to show your .pro file (or upload the full code so we could try to compile it).

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.

        @aha_1980 Ah gotcha sorry, I was looking at the wrong line, with it on my desktop the error there is:

          Uhm... seems to be a bigger one. You will need to search the .pri files for router_app_service_interface.hpp and see if that gives you new insight.

          Resolving that might be a challenging task - not sure if forum support is sufficient for that.

            @aha_1980 That makes sense - I'll look into it, and for the record the antivirus/admin windows settings on my laptop are fairly strict because of company policies, any chance that could be causing issues?

              Yeah, these are always a source for fun. However, in your case I doubt it.

              What you can also do is to inspect the generated Makefile. We already know it is wrong, but maybe you see why it is wrong.

              Good luck!

                Hi,

                @jacobdbernard said in Dependent (that clearly exists) does not exist error when building Qt Creator project:

                object_parallel_to_source

                I wonder if this one might be part of the problem.

                  @SGaist I see what you mean looking at the documentation, but unfortunately removing that option didn't seem to make a difference.

                    I have the same exact error on Windows 10 with Qt 5.12.3, but not on macOS 10.14.4 with same Qt version. I did not get this error on Windows 10 with Qt 5.5.1.

                    I tried all the ideas above so this seems to be a bug in Qt 5.12.3 for Windows. Have you found any solution?

                      Do you use object_parallel_to_source ?

                          @Cosmin124 It will be hard to help you without the actual project. At least all project files are needed.

                          If you want to investigate yourself, check the compile output. sometimes builds fail just because of timing, i.e. dependency is build parallel or after the project that uses the dependency.

                          Regards

                          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                            Unfortunately I wasn't able to fix it @Cosmin124

                              Are other files from the same directory being included from this dir?

                              $$PWD/../../../GBusArtifact/Debug/interface/include/routercontroller/routercontroller_fw \
                              

                              Have you tried doing an explicit include:

                              HEADERS += <absolute path>
                              or
                              HEADERS += <relative path>
                              

                              Are there symbolic links in the path that could be screwing stuff up?

                              C++ is a perfectly valid school of magic.

                                this might help:
                                add the following to .pro file

                                QMAKE_PROJECT_DEPTH = 0
                                

                                this will make all Makefile includes to absolute paths
