Cannot open include file pcap.h in QT creator (C1083)

Question

I am trying to link winpcap into my QT creator project.

For that I've added this to my .pro file:

INCLUDEPATH += C:/WpdPack/Include
LIBS += -LC:/WpdPack/Lib -lwpcap - lpacket

When I type #include <pcap.h> the code assistant autocompletes but on compile I get Error:C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pcap.h': No such file or directory.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Typically the solution pops up after asking the question:

I've found a workaround

INCLUDEPATH += C:/WpdPack/Include
LIBS += C:/WpdPack/Lib/wpcap.lib
LIBS += C:/WpdPack/Lib/Packet.lib
CONFIG += no_lflags_merge

And it builds.
