INCLUDEPATH in QT doesn't work

Question

Sorry for the duplicate, but the solution from INCLUDEPATH in qmake project file doesn't work (running qmake) does not work for me.

While this works:

include "C:/Program Files/PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl-1.6/pcl/point_types.h" (in the .cpp)

following doesnt (no such file or directory), even after running qmake:

INCLUDEPATH += "C:/Program Files/PCL 1.6.0/include" (in the .pro file)
#include <pcl/point_types.h> (in the .cpp)

My .pro files looks like this:

QT       += core

QT       -= gui

TARGET = untitled
CONFIG   += console
CONFIG   -= app_bundle

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp

INCLUDEPATH += "C:/Program Files/PCL 1.6.0/include"

I must be missing something really obvious but I have no idea what it is. Any help is appreciated!

Your paths are different. `../PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl-1.6/pcl/point_types.h` != `../PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl/point_types.h`. — thuga, Nov 13 '14 at 12:59
Thanks! I somehow thought that it would also include the subfolders. — John Smith, Nov 13 '14 at 13:48

Your paths are different.

../PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl-1.6/pcl/point_types.h !=

../PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl/point_types.h.

Either use INCLUDEPATH += "C:/Program Files/PCL 1.6.0/include/pcl-1.6" in your .pro file or include your header like this: #include <pcl-1.6/pcl/point_types.h>
