Cant build files

kzzmzz

I just to use qt creator, and i have trouble to build files that i created with codeblocks but that doesn`t matter i think. I click on file/open file or project and choose file test.c for example and when test.c is opened i cant click on build or start or debug.

@kzzmzz
Hi
You need to have a project file.
( a .pro file)
Else you are just editing the file and Creator do not know how to compile/build the file.

Please read this
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-creating.html

Hi and welcome to devnet,

How did you create your project ?

kzzmzz

File / New file or project / non qt project/ plain c application

SGaist

No, that's fine. What exact error are you getting ?

Can you show your .pro file ?

kzzmzz

How can i show .pro file ?

i also got this message.

:-1: error: No rule to make target '../Desktop/C', needed by 'C.o'. Stop.

@kzzmzz
Just double click it and it will open. Copy paste it here.

Also , you seem to be on linux. You have gcc and build tools installed?

kzzmzz

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += main.c
../Desktop/C Reseni Zadaci iz Knjiga/Chapter-9-Zadatak-6.c

yes i have gcc installed

When im making new file everything is ok, i can build, debuge etc

but when i want to add my old c files i cant

mrjj

Just for test.
rename it to
myfile.c and put it next to main.c ( in same folder)
Then add it.
I suspect it might be path related.

kzzmzz

Still nothing

:-1: error: No rule to make target '../Desktop/C', needed by 'C.o'. Stop.

mrjj

@kzzmzz

But if you renamed the file,
why does it talk
about C.o ?
should be myfile.o or Chapter-9-Zadatak-6.o ?

kzzmzz

I have added another folder on desktop test and i copyed myfile.c and now i can add the file but still cant build or run?

mrjj

@kzzmzz
well it surely works so im not sure why it fails in your setup.
Could u zip your test project and let me see it ?

SGaist

At the very least your are missing quotes in your .pro files.

../Desktop/C Reseni Zadaci iz Knjiga/Chapter-9-Zadatak-6.c each space tells qmake that what follows is a new file hence your errors with the "strange" paths.
