    When i specify the shadow build directory directly, like this, it builds:
    0_1499921737120_Screen Shot 2017-07-12 at 9.53.12 PM.png

    but if i specify with a variable name (who's resolved value is identical), like this:
    0_1499921776602_Screen Shot 2017-07-12 at 9.53.54 PM.png

    then the make file can't be found:
    0_1499921790413_Screen Shot 2017-07-12 at 9.54.02 PM.png

    is this a bug in Qt Creator?

            Possibly. Try to name your build without having space in its name, it may be that. Otherwise sounds like a bug.
