    Default C1083: Cannot open include file: 'QApplication'

    Hello,

    I'm very new to Qt.
    I just installled Qt5.0.0 & MS Visual C++ Comilper 10.0 on my compuer (running Win7)

    I tried to compile and run a few programs from the Qt Creator Examples. They work.

    Then, I created a very simple project using "Empty Qt project" from Qt Creator.
    The project was created at the default location "C:\Qt\Qt5.0.0\Tools\QtCreator\bin"
    I just added one main.cpp source file with the following code:
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QApplication>
    2. #include <QPushButton>
    3. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    4. {
    5. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    6. QPushButton button("Run");
    7. button.show()
    8. return app.exec
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    I tried to compile it. It didn't work and it gave me: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'QApplication'.

    I looked up on the forum for similar issues and someone said: "Add the folder of the Qt include files to the paths that are used for finding headers."
    I added it to the project file (.pro), so now it looks like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. INCLUDEPATH = C:\Qt\Qt5.0.0\5.0.0\msvc2010\include
    2. SOURCES += \
    3. main.cpp
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    but it still doesn't work...Any idea to help me with this very basic code?

    Thank you in advance!

    Add the following to your project file:
    qmake Code:
    1. QT += widgets
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Thanks wysota.

    I did it, so my project file looks like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. QT += widgets
    2. SOURCES += \
    3. main.cpp
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    I tryed to compile without modifying the main.cpp and I got the exact same error.
    I figured out that I actually had to write:
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
    2. #include <QtWidgets/QPushButton>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    instead of:
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QApplication>
    2. #include <QPushButton>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    for it to work.

    What I still don't understand is that the examples given in Qt creator use
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QApplication>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and they compile without complaining.

    You neither need nor want the "QtWidgets/" portion of those #include lines; but you do need to rerun qmake after modifying the PRO file.

    Thank you very much CrisW67! It works just fine. My error was that I thought that pressing the run button in Qt creator would both run qmake and compile the code.

    Hi everybody, I have the same problem, I did add
    Qt Code:
    1. QT += widgets
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and rerun the qmake and rebuild.
    What I get is no errors ,but when I run the project it says The program has unexpectedly finished. and in the compile output this line C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe -f Makefile.Debug is colored in red

    Your code is the problem. Launch your program in your debugger and, when it crashes, look at the information available to work out where and why it crashes. If you still cannot work it out then start your own thread and actually provide some information about your program, where it is crashing, what you have tried to diagnose/fix it etc. We are not mind readers and need at least some information to go on.
