Updated ui_FUBAR.h not used in build

[gib]

A small puzzle. My Windows Qt project is in a directory, let's call it \FUBAR. This is where all the source code, the .pro file, and FUBAR.ui reside. When I build it the executable is placed in \FUBAR-desktop\Release. If I make changes to FUBAR.ui and build, the new ui_FUBAR.h is placed in \FUBAR-desktop, but the build looks for it in \FUBAR. If the file is not in \FUBAR the build issues this error: "error: No rule to make target `../FUBAR/ui_FUBAR.h', needed by `release/main.o'." To build with the new version I have to copy it into this directory. It's a very trivial issue, but there must be a way to correct this.

What does you PRO file look like and are you building this manually or is Qt Creator doing a shadow build for you?

The PRO file is like this:

CONFIG += release
INCLUDEPATH += C:\VTK-build-4.4.0-static C:\VTK-build-4.4.0-static\rendering \

Qt Creator does the build.
