Inclusion of header files from include/Qt is deprecated

I've recently began working through a C++ Gui Programming with Qt 4 book.

However, I can't get past the first tutorials.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QTextEdit>

int main(int argv, char **args)
{
    QApplication app(argv, args);

    QTextEdit textEdit;
    textEdit.show();

    return app.exec();
}

Each time I try to compile this, I get this:

C:\Qt\4.8.0\andrew>qmake -project

C:\Qt\4.8.0\andrew>qmake

C:\Qt\4.8.0\andrew>make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Debug

mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug/tutone.o] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Qt/4.8.0/andrew'
mingw32-make: *** [debug] Error 2

As I'm new to Qt and fairly new to compiling, I assume the error is on my end. Am I declaring the headers wrong or something?

My .pro file looks like this:

######################################################################
# Automatically generated by qmake (2.01a) Thu Jan 19 12:41:21 2012
######################################################################

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .

# Input
HEADERS += tutone.h \
           C:/Qt/4.8.0/include/Qt/Qapplication.h \
           ../include/QtGui/qapplication.h \
           ../src/gui/kernel/qapplication.h \
           C:/Qt/4.8.0/include/Qt/Qpushbutton.h \
           ../include/QtGui/qpushbutton.h \
           ../src/gui/widgets/qpushbutton.h
SOURCES += tutone.cpp \
           tutthree.cpp \
           ../src/gui/kernel/qapplication.cpp \
           ../src/gui/widgets/qpushbutton.cpp

Thanks

After running qmake -project you should add QT variable in the .pro file. Then you can remove these odd HEADERS and SOURCES (and link dynamically Qt libraries to your program):

QT += core gui # <-- this line
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = ProjectNameHere
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .

# Input
HEADERS += tutone.h 
SOURCES += tutone.cpp \
        tutthree.cpp \

It's a false error due to a bug in the Qt build setup.
It's not a problem and has been logged on the Qt bug tracker
