Re: VS2005 header files and qmake
Message 1 in thread
Thanks for your helpful reply here. I was also having intellisense
problems, and I tried all of the things on this thread. None of them
worked. I am using the visual studio integration with VS2008.
But on your suggestion, I tried this:
qmake -tp vc
And it skipped over all the source because there were no .vcproj files
already created for them. But this led me to the eventual solution,
which should have been obvious to me before:
close my solution
qt menu - open solution from .pro file
select the src.pro file
at this point, intellisense starts indexing the whole project.
When it's done, I close this solution and open my qt solution.
Completion works great again.
Cheers --alan

The solution for that is also simple:
qmake -tp vc -r
to recursively process the .pro files.
