So QtCreator runs ODB as you would want. But then ODB fails saying that
the file it tries to compile does not exist. Make helpfully tells you
which directory it is in. So check if

C:/Users/Jan/Documents/QT-Projects/build-test-Desktop_Qt_5_4_0_MinGW_32bit-Debug/..\test\person.h

exists. If it doesn't, then try to figure out where it is and adjust
your project accordingly.

This should be a pretty simple issue to fix. In the future please try
to solve things like this yourself. If you expect me to debug every
silly mistake in your project, I am afraid I won't do that.
