It is the project file that ultimately drives the compiler. If you set it up incorrectly then it will work incorrectly.
And yet, I posted the complete project file in my last post...and did you see a problem in it??

I never said QtCreator requires using INCLUDEPATH. I said the compiler toolchain does.
Even that, I believe, is false, since I have built projects in Qt Creator before WITHOUT using the INCLUDEPATH variable (which is for qmake, btw, which is not a compiler...), and they worked and compiled just fine.

Which points me to a conclusion that your #include directive probably doesn't match your project settings.
Oh no?? Well, you see, the #include directive inside of every header or source file when using "" syntax refers to filepaths relative to the current directory of the file that contains it. Thus, when I wrote S_html_attr.h (located in C:/Users/MobileXMan/Documents/Programming_Projects/MAW/Modules/core/WebCoder_mod/modules/Html_coder/C_html4_coder/C_html4_elements/C_html4_tags/S_html_tag/C_html4_attributes/S_html_attr) which #include(s) S_html_attr_value.h (the problem file, located in C:/Users/MobileXMan/Documents/Programming_Projects/MAW/Modules/core/WebCoder_mod/modules/Html_coder/C_html4_coder/C_html4_elements/C_html4_tags/S_html_tag/C_html4_attributes/S_html_attr/S_html_attr_value), the #include directive (which mingw32-make.exe now points to when producing the "No such file or directory error") inside S_html_attr.h is:

Qt Code: 
  1. #include "S_html_attr_value/S_html_attr_value.h"

Show us your #include directive and your exact INCLUDEPATH statement and tell us where your project fil resides.
I just gave you the #include directive. And I already gave you the exact INCLUDEPATH statement in my last post. As for where my project file resides, the full filepath is:

C:/Users/MobileXMan/Documents/Programming_Projects/MAW/Modules/core/WebCoder_mod/modules/Html_coder/C_html4_coder/C_html4_elements

Let's make a deal. If we manage to fix your problem and prove you there is no bug in "the way QtCreator passes information to make" then you'll donate not less than 100 EUR to QtCentre Foundation. Since as you said there must be a bug there, you don't risk anything. What do you say?
Well, I dont think I'll agree to that deal (since I admit the problem could be somewhere else then where it looks like to me it is), but still, I could be right...
