Qt 5.1.0 build problems with ui_*.h files

I have one problem with building my Qt project(v5.1.0).

If I change a form(for instance ui_<formname>.h), I have to manually copy it.

From:

<QT Path>\workspace\build-<Project name>-Desktop_Qt_5_1_0_MinGW_32bit-Debug

to

<QT Path>\workspace\<Project name>

Otherwise, I have still the old form. I think I have some errors in the MakeFile's, but I don't know where.

Solution

  • I fixed it with creating a new Qt project with the same name. (Before I backuped the old one to the Desktop). Afterwards I added all my classes(*.h, *.cpp and *.ui) to the directory workspace folder. In Qt Creator right click on the project and Add Existing Files. Then you have to overrite the main.cpp, mainwindow.h, mainwindow.cpp and mainwindow.ui. In <Qt>/workspace/<Name> are no more ui_*.h files and now they get updated automatically.
