[Interest] dependent foo.cpp does not exist.

[Thomas Sevaldrud]

Hi,

I'm getting these strange errors all the time when trying to build my
projects now... I'm using shadow building and I get these "dependent
<somefile>.cpp does not exist". In some cases the problem goes away when
deleting the entire build folder and re-configuring, but not always... I
can't see any particular pattern in these errors, other than that the file
it complaints about definitely exists in the location pointed to by the
error message. For example:

16:42:48: Running steps for project SilentToolkit...

16:42:48: Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.

16:42:48: Starting: "C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe"

It is very hard to reproduce with an isolated example. It happens on
various machines, and with various projects. All these projects include a
common qmake include file, and it's probably something stupid I've done
there, but I just wanted to ask if anybody have had similar problems, or
any helpful advice on how to debug this...

Cheers,
Thomas
