Qt cannot open included file on ui_mainwindow.h

Question

I am making a project in QT Creator 2.6. I am promoting a QWidget subclass called cPlotter, but when I try to compile the project, it fails because it cannot find the file cplotter.h. I figured out that this is because the file “ui_mainwindow.h” updates automatically including the file cplotter.h within brackets instead of quotes.

So, ui_mainwindow.h updates like:

#include < cplotter.h >

but it should be:

 #include “cplotter.h”

So, it is very annoying to edit by hand every time I change something on the GUI.

Anyone knows a solution for this?

Hang on, aren't `` and `"cplotter.h"` equivalent? I thought choosing which one was stylistic decision rather than a syntactical one. — cmannett85, Dec 02 '12 at 21:08
Diffrence between `` and `"cplotter.h"` is just order of searching directories. — Marek R, Dec 02 '12 at 22:08
I know that, but in this case it only works by using quotes unfortunately. — fzec, Dec 03 '12 at 02:42

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD (or where cplotter.h)
