I am developing a media player using vlc-qt. So what I have done till now is I have clone the git repository of vlc-qt and have build that using BUILDING.md and in my '''pro''' file of Qt I have added the path of my vlc-qt installation like below
INCLUDEPATH+= /home/vinay/vlc-qt/build/include
LIBS+= -L/home/vinay/vlc-qt/lib -lVLCQtCore -lVLCQtWidgets
and I am trying to make same editor as shown by this example https://github.com/vlc-qt/examples/tree/master/simple-player
But here What It has done is that he creates one widget in UI file and then promote it to header WidgetVideo.h and class VlcWidgetVideo So I have done the same. The path for header and class I provided in my promoted widget was
class name:VlcWidgetVideo
header: VLCQtWidgets/WidgetVideo.h
But when I build my project it shows me below error
No rule to make target 'VLCQtWidgets/WidgetVideo.h', needed by 'ui_mediaplayer.h'. Stop.
When I include the header in the project like
#include "VLCQtWidgets/WidgetVideo.h
The file is included without showing error it means my project is able to access this file but when I run this it shows no rule error.
I don't know why it is not able to access that file.
You need to include this line in your pro file
INCLUDEPATH+= /usr/local/include
The reason for this error is become the ui file is not able to access the header file because the actual system path is not included in your pro file and most of the time in Linux the vlc-qt files are installed on this location
/usr/local/include
