Hi and welcome to devnet,
Are you sure that your application should go in "/opt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/gcc/bin/" ?
That doesn't look like a normal destination folder when building an application.
-
In the RUN configuration, the path of the Executable file is fixed to “/opt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/gcc/bin/” (I am not able to change it).
-
What does it show in the build panel under Build Directory ?
-
It shows:
Build Directory: /opt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/gcc/bin -
I copied the project to a different path as you suggested and now it's working fine.
However, why it couldn't compile in the previous path is mysterious. -
I would guess no write rights
Anyway, you should not use such path for project building. Have your code somewhere in your home directory and use the shadow build option from QtCreator, this way you'll be safe.
Sine it's all working now, please update the thread's title to solved so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
