I joined an already existing (opensource-) Qt 4 project to add some functionality. The project compiles and runs perfectly on Linux Slackware with Qt 4.8.5. As IDE I first used KDevelop (comes with Slackware), but Qt project files aren't supported in KDevelop (since it primarily uses cmake, I had to use the makefile to import the project). Now I want to switch to Qt Creator, but header files in included (relative-) paths aren't recognized. For example the project file is in "dir0/programs/prog1/prog1.pro" and some extra headers are in "dir0/gui/extra.h". "dir0/gui" is added to the search path by the line INCLUDEPATH += ../../gui in the project file. If I hover over #include "extra.h" in a .h file of the project I always get a popup saying "extra.h: No such file or directory".
In KDevelop there was no problem and also qmake gets it. What's the problem of the Creator (I'm using 2.8, and also tried 3.0)
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

EDIT: I just realized, that the whole Qt framework isn't recognized by qt-creator as well. When I type #include " the headers suggested by auto-completion are all located either in "/usr/include" or the project directory. For example I even can't do #include <QtGui>.
what might be the problem here?
EDIT2: The project file also includes gui.pri and local.pri which are used by several other projects as well. I tried to compress the files a bit - it still compiles without problems.
