Failed to start program. Path or permissions wrong?

clouca

Yes it's very weird.. I am thinking to switch it in windows for better luck. I run linux on virtual machine, does this make any difference ?

Do not know. I have not used Qt creator lately on a virtual machine.

[quote author="SGaist" date="1367847901"]Hi,
in this case, are you sure your project is setup correctly ? Could you share the pro file ?[/quote]
at clouca: that is an option. Maybe someone sees an issue.

Do you have a complex project?

clouca

Yes it is a project with 5 subfolders..

SGaist

Since it's a subfolder project, how do you setup your DESTDIR variables ?

clouca

Thanks all of you for your answers. SGaist I will check tomorrow and tell you.
Thanks

Hi
I had this problem in old versions of QtCreator. As far as I remember it's a bug, but is was supposed to be solved in latest version, I believe. Do a google search, you will find similar threads some wich are alreay solved.

Those are the versions of Qt lib. Qt creator has currently version 2.7. A Qt creator installed with Qt 4.7 is fairly old.
How did you install Qt 5? Which exact Qt5 version are you using? Did you replace also the Qt creator at that time?

clouca

I use Qt Creator 2.7.0. Based on Qt 5.0.2. No i didn't replace anything, i moved to a new pc to startover the project.

clouca

as i have noticed i have wrong path. but in the correct path the executable does not exists. firstly how can i change the path ?

SGaist

Where does that path come from ?

clouca

I don't know what to do i am desperated...

SGaist

Do you set the DESTDIR in your pro files ? If yes where do they point to ?

Otherwise can you post (i.e. pastebin) your pro files ? So we can see if the problem lies with them or if we can eliminate that as a cause.

Did you take a look at the build panel to see where things are built ?

clouca

no i don't have DESTDIR but in my project there is SUBDIRS : which points to subdirectories.. maybe this is the problem ?

SGaist

As I said before, without seeing anything from your project I can only make guesses.

If you really can't share anything. The only solution I see for you is to start from scratch a new project using the subdir template with only one sub directory that contains a project for a hello world app. Make it build and run and once that is good. Take one by one the pieces of your other project and integrate it in the one building and running until everything works.

clouca

What do you want to share from my project ?

SGaist

As already mentioned, seeing the pro files could be useful

clouca

Ok.. just o moment to finish what i'm doing now..

clouca

I fixed the problem but i don't know how solved exactly.. I played with settings on kits...

I've run today into same problem.
It appears a bit weird.

When this error occurs, the exe has the Windows' typical blue/yellow shield over the icon.
Interestingly, this can be changed only by changing the name of the executable in the .pro file(TARGET=).

As a first assumption I would say: If it contains the name of one of the parent directories this problem pops-up.

I run QtCreator 2.4.1on Win7.

Any comment on this?
