Qt cannot open include file on Windows

I'm very new to Qt and C++. I'm following the qmake example on page 40 (Rapid Dialog Design) of C++ GUI programming with qt 4 (2nd ed) by Blanchette and Summerfield.

I'm running qt 5.5.1 on a 64-bit Windows 10. VS 2013 is installed.

I ran qmake -project and qmake gotocell.pro as in the instructions, then nmake from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64

I got this error:

        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\nmake.exe" -f Makefile.Release

What's happening and how do I resolve this?

It's usually a bad idea to invoke any of VS programs directly by specifying the full path. Instead, you should set up the environment using one of the VS-provided batch files. In fact, if you set up the environment using the Qt-provided batch file (which you probably also need to do), it will remind you of that:

C:\Users\alqualos>c:\Qt\Qt5.4.1\5.4\msvc2013_64\bin\qtenv2.bat

C:\Users\alqualos>echo off
Setting up environment for Qt usage...
Remember to call vcvarsall.bat to complete environment setup!
C:\Qt\Qt5.4.1\5.4\msvc2013_64>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"

C:\Qt\Qt5.4.1\5.4\msvc2013_64>nmake /?
