QtCore/QtGlobal: No such file or directory when building static archive

[jmalicke]

I am trying to build two libraries: one static one shared. The problem is with the static library. I have the following folders:

@src/
db/
dbal.h
dbal.pro
dll/
Distribution.h
dll.pro
project.pro@

db is static and dll is shared

Distribution.h

@#ifndef DISTRIBUTION_H_
#define DISTRIBUTION_H_

#include <QtCore/QtGlobal>

#if defined(BUILDING_DLL)
#define DLL_FUNCTION Q_DECL_EXPORT
#else
#define DLL_FUNCTION Q_DECL_IMPORT
#endif

#endif /* DISTRIBUTION_H_ */@

Now here is the file inside db/ that includes Distribution.h

dbal.h

@#ifndef DBAL_H_
#define DBAL_H_

#include "Distribution.h"

...

#endif@

db.pro

@TARGET = db
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG = staticlib c++11

QT += core

INCLUDEPATH += ../dll

HEADERS += dbal.h
HEADERS += dbal_sqlite.h

SOURCES += dbal.cpp
SOURCES += dbal_sqlite.cpp

DESTDIR = ../../build/debug/db

When I run make in the db/ folder I get the following error: QtCore/QtGlobal: No such file or directory. It also appears that there are missing -I commands.

Here is my log:

@make all

What is the content of your db/dll.pro file? It looks like qmake wasn't run properly and didn't build the makefile with the Qt stuff.

So you are correct there are missing -I and -L from the make.
