Question

I have compiled project with qmake (qmake -project; qmake; nmake).
When I opened file .pro, to reload project I got the following error:

The item “debug\moc_Rls.cpp” already exists under the filter
“Generated Files”

Project, being part of soultion now is unavailiable when I open solution.

The evidient question: what to do?

Answer 1

Oh, sorry it was my mistake I thought you were on Linux.

Follow these step:

1.Open the [Project_Name].vcxproj.filters file under project directory.

2.See the following lines (I am pasting mine)

  <ItemGroup>
    <ClCompile Include="Main.c">
      <Filter>Source Files</Filter>
    </ClCompile>
    <ClCompile Include="FunctBank.c">
      <Filter>Source Files</Filter>
    </ClCompile>
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <ClInclude Include="funcDef.h">
      <Filter>Header Files</Filter>
    </ClInclude>
  </ItemGroup>

3.Here you will see debug\moc_Rls.cpp defined twice under two filters.

4.One of them I can guess is

<ClInclude Include="debug\moc_Rls.cpp">
  <Filter>Generated Files</Filter>
</ClInclude>

And the other one you have to detect yourself.

After finding remove that filter and your project will run smoothly.
