Qt: executable does not regenerated

I have simple Qt program. When running make it gives error which is 1200 lines long

make: Circular main.o <- QThread dependency dropped.
In file included from mythread.h:4,
                 from main.cpp:3:

QThread is the executable. When I delete it and run make again, it compiles ok. But when I do some changes make gives me the same error. I am creating Makefile using qmake, why the executable does not regenerated?

Your mythread.h does #include <QThread>, and when your own executable is named QThread, this finds the executable you've just built instead of Qt's own header.

You've renamed the program in response to Jeremy's comment and you've seen that it then works. That's one good option. Another is to make sure you include <QThread> instead of "QThread" (if you aren't doing so already) and make sure your compiler flags are set such that the current directory is not searched before Qt's header directory.
