    Description

      When building a Qt application via Visual Studio with the vcxproj file generated from qmake then it will warn about circular dependencies like:

      1>------ Build started: Project: application, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
      1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(170,5): warning MSB8017: A circular dependency has been detected while executing custom build commands for item "mainwindow.h". This may cause incremental build to work incorrectly.
      1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(170,5): warning MSB8017: A circular dependency has been detected while executing custom build commands for item ".moc\debug\moc_predefs.h". This may cause incremental build to work incorrectly.
      1>  RCC application.qrc
      1>  MOC mainwindow.h
      1>CUSTOMBUILD : warning : Failed to resolve include ".moc/debug/moc_predefs.h" for moc file mainwindow.h
      1>  cl
      1>  main.cpp
      1>  mainwindow.cpp
      1>  moc_mainwindow.cpp
      1>  qrc_application.cpp
      1>  Generating Code...
      1>  application.vcxproj -> d:\dev\qt5-dev\qtbase\examples\widgets\mainwindows\application\debug\application.exe
      ========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
      

      This happens with any Qt example.

      Amendment: This is not just about the warning. The build may actually fail. See comments.
