    I have a QWidget element on my ui which I would like to use for as a plotter.
    I am trying to promote it to a custom class (MyPlot) of mine which inherits QwtPlot.

    The Qwt package is found and CMake runs fine. But when I try to build it, the ui_mainwindow.h file is not finding my custom class.

    It throws the error : ui_mainwindow.h:19:10: 'src/myplot.hpp' file not found

    My CMakeLists.txt file looks like this:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
    
    project(Front VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX)
    
    set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
    set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
    set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
    
    set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "cmake")
    
    set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
    set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
    
    # extend cmake module path find additional .cmake module (here in Qwt)
    set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")
    
    find_package(QT NAMES Qt6 Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets)
    find_package(Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets)
    
    # prepare QWT library
    set (QWT_LIBRARY "c:/cpp_libs/Qwt/Qwt-6.2.0/lib")
    set (QWT_INCLUDE_DIR "c:/cpp_libs/Qwt/Qwt-6.2.0/include")
    find_package(Qwt)
    
    if(Qwt_FOUND)
        message(STATUS "QWT Package Found")
    endif()
    
    set(PROJECT_SOURCES
            src/main.cpp
            src/mainwindow.cpp
            src/mainwindow.hpp
            src/mainwindow.ui
            src/myplot.hpp
            src/myplot.cpp
    )
    
    if(${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} GREATER_EQUAL 6)
        qt_add_executable(Front
            MANUAL_FINALIZATION
            ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
        )
    # Define target properties for Android with Qt 6 as:
    #    set_property(TARGET Front APPEND PROPERTY QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR
    #                 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android)
    # For more information, see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-add-executable.html#target-creation
    else()
        if(ANDROID)
            add_library(Front SHARED
                ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
            )
    # Define properties for Android with Qt 5 after find_package() calls as:
    #    set(ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android")
        else()
            add_executable(Front
                ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
            )
        endif()
    endif()
    
    # add QWT include and library directories to the project
    target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${QWT_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    target_link_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${QWT_LIBRARIES})
    
    target_link_libraries(Front PUBLIC
        Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Widgets
        qwt
    )
    
    set_target_properties(Front PROPERTIES
        MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER my.example.com
        MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
        MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING ${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR}
        MACOSX_BUNDLE TRUE
        WIN32_EXECUTABLE TRUE
    )
    
    install(TARGETS Front
        BUNDLE DESTINATION .
        LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})
    
    if(QT_VERSION_MAJOR EQUAL 6)
        qt_finalize_executable(Front)
    endif()
    
    

    My MyPlot class header looks like this:

    #ifndef MYPLOT_HPP
    #define MYPLOT_HPP
    
    #include "qwt_plot.h"
    #include "qwt_scale_engine.h"
    #include "qwt_plot_curve.h"
    #include "qwt_plot_grid.h"
    #include "qwt_scale_draw.h"
    #include "qwt_symbol.h"
    #include "qwt_legend.h"
    #include "qwt_text.h"
    #include "qwt_point_data.h"
    #include "qwt_series_data.h"
    #include "qwt_plot_zoomer.h"
    #include "qwt_plot_magnifier.h"
    
    class MyPlot : public QwtPlot
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        explicit MyPlot(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    };
    
    #endif // MYPLOT_HPP
    

    The implementation file is just an empty constructor.

    This is the promoted classes for this widget.

    What could I be missing? Thanks in advance.
