Qt does not find the .exe file
-
Hi, thank you for your answer.
-
the full path is C:\Users\Jaime.Prohens.EXT\Documents\Workspace\build-FinalDemo-Desktop_Qt_5_9_5_MinGW_32bit-Debug
And I am using Windows 7 -
I did some more test and here's the problem:
Every time I run the app on Android emulator (I start the emulator on Android Studio ) it works prefectly. But when I swicht to "Desktop Qt 5.9.5 MinGW 32bit" to run it again on desktop, I have the "can't find .exe file". I figured out that closing Qt and opening it again fix the problem, because Qt automatically changes the exe path to C:\Users\Jaime.Prohens.EXT\Documents\Workspace\build-FinalDemo-Desktop_Qt_5_9_5_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug
Do I have to close and open again Qt every time I switch from android to desktop?
And I forgot to say that the main goal is to build the app for desktop AND android

Yes, I am using Qt creator as IDE and I switch to android compilation/running on the lower left chain as you said.
I already tryed to run qmake qhen facing this problem and rebuild the app, but it doesnt fix the issue.As I mentioned in the last post, the only way to fix this problem is by closing Qt creator and start it again.

I can actually confirm that behaviour in my installation of CtCreator 4.6 one on Windows 10, on Ubuntu,and on MacOs this works fine.
I haven't checked on the bugtracker jet, i find it difficult to search for specific bugs.
I think this may just be an oversight, because, IIRC, Windows is the only OS where qmake creates a debug and release folder each inside the actual debug and release path.

the differentiation between debug and release is IIRC as well a windows issue. But that shall be cured by rerun of qmake. At least in my cases it cures, but I am typically switching between debug and release and applications only. The change of tool chain is not done often.
I thought I am the only having trouble to get an overview on JIRA. Probably it would improve by daily use, but that is not the point for standard users.

@koahnig and @J-Hilk:
Regarding the extra debug and release folders I asked two years ago: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-52347
The workaround is to set
CONFIG-=debug_and_releasein the project file, and to take care to use shadow building because debug and release objects cannot be mixed on Windows.I added this option to all my projects and didn't see problems with that so far.
Qt has to stay free or it will die.

Not really sure if this will an issue for me.
Can you freely switch forth and back with the left pane for compilation selection (debug/release) and the project is compiled as required?
Maybe it does?Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

Maybe it does?@koahnig said in Qt does not find the .exe file:

Yes. And I can also switch betwenn MSVC and MinGW.
