Well, unless make's -j option is completely broken what is missing here
is a dependecy from the projecteditor.cpp to the projecteditorbase.h.
Because in that case make (if it has sane rules to for making the
commands parallel) cannot execute uic and gcc in parallel. Which, as I
said also, indicates a build-system problem.
