[64b-MSVC2012-OPENGL] Cannot compile subproject

[Hayaweh]

Hello everybody. newbie to the forum

I am using Qt to build a game project with some side libraries.
To do so and to make an application that might be modular and easy to maintain, I made a separation of the differents parts building up subprojects.

I am on Win 8.1 64b Pro N Edition.
Using Qt 5.2 msvc 2012 opengl 64b.
Using QtCreator as main IDE.

So. Where is the problem ?

Some of my subproject depends on some others (for example, game logic depends on the game engine which depends on graphic engine, physic engine, sound engine and so on.)

Let's have a look at my project .pro file :

@TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS +=
MadonPatcher
Madon
MLogic
MGenericRender
MGameEngine
MPhysic
MGraphicEngine
MSound
MGUI
MNetwork \

MLogic.INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/MGameEngine

MGameEngine.depends = MPhysic MSound MGUI MGraphicEngine MNetwork
MLogic.depends = MGameEngine
Madon.depends = MLogic
MadonPatcher.depends = Madon

win32-g++: COMPILER = mingw
win32-msvc2010: COMPILER = msvc
win32-msvc2012: COMPILER = msvc
linux-gcc: COMPILER = gcc

message("Compiler Binary: "$$QMAKE_CXX)
message("Compiler Type: "$${COMPILER})
@

Then, here is the .pro of the problematic project :

@QT += core gui widgets

TEMPLATE = lib

BINARY_NAME= MLogic
BUILD_DIR = build
BIN_DIR = bin

win32-g++: COMPILER = mingw
win32-msvc2010: COMPILER = msvc
win32-msvc2012: COMPILER = msvc

win32 {

msvc {

    message($$INCLUDEPATH)
}

}

The problem comes when i try to compile the whole thing pressing "ctrl + b".
It fails and gives me the following error :

@E:\Projects\C++\Madon\Client\MLogic\mlogic.h(6) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mgameengine.h': No such file or directory

Error while building/deploying project MidgardAdventureOnline (kit: Desktop Qt 5.2.0 MSVC2012 OpenGL 64bit)

I checked the paths and include file name. Both are correct and it works when I include MLogic in Madon.
(it finds the header, etc..)

So i tried to take a look at the compilation output when trying to compile MLogic.
Here is what comes out (starting at the last line of compilation of MGameEngine) :

I don't see the -I"..\GameEngine" everywhere. So i really don't have a clue of what is the problem.
On the other side, Qtcreator recognize the file and even allows me to create the objects it contains.

The problem is exactly the same with the includes in GameEngine, when i try to include an header. It makes the compilation crash, even if i can code and auto-complete, etc my code.

As you can see. It seems that the problem comes from qmake when building the whole tree.
(and yes. I re-runned qmake).

Important remark !
If i compile Mlogic alone. It works.

If someone have an idea or wants to help a bit on this really strange but. Thanks. :)

Hm.. Well. I am sorry. I solved the problem..

In fact. It came from Madon while using and including MLogic.

main.cpp includes mlogic.h... Which one includes mgameengine.h

This seems legit.. But !
MLogic project posses the INCLUDEPATH to mgameengine.h, Madon doesn't!
So it becomes pretty logic that it doesn't find mgameengine.h but that Qtcreator does (as qtcreator bases itself on .pro files. Compiler does not.)

Here is my question.

Is it possible to inherit the INCLUDEPATH of these libraries ?

I mean i can do Madon.INCLUDEPATH += MLogic.INCLUDEPATH ... But is it the best solution ?

Thanks in advance !

Ok. This doesn't work for INCLUDEPATH...

Any idea ? :)
