I just broke Creator (again)...

mzimmers

I've tried deleting and rebuilding. It most definitely won't run from a command shell, nor would I expect it to, as the needed .dll files aren't co-resident with the binary. But I've always been able to run the app out of QtCreator until now.

I think my problem might be related to the selections I made with the maintenance tool. I'm now installing 5.11.1 and not selecting Mingw from the Tools section. Hopefully this will help.

EDIT:

No improvement. At this point, I'm fairly confident the problem isn't with my installation; it has to be a setting somewhere that got erased when I uninstalled older versions of Qt.

Hi,

Did you try to delete the .pro.user file from your project and configure it again ?

mzimmers

Hi SGaist - yes, I did...same results.

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the maintenance tool...maybe I should try uninstalling, and downloading from the web site?

SGaist

I'd rather go with checking these setting of Qt Creator before that.

mzimmers

I've reviewed the settings exhaustively. I realize I'm probably overlooking something, but it's as though I've inadvertently deleted a library reference or something similar.

I ran Dependency Walker, but evidently it's far too out of date to be useful here. Any ideas on how to isolate what changed when I reinstalled?

My 2c:
Open the debugger log and see what went wrong with the startup.

@kshegunov thanks for the suggestion. Note that the app fails whether or not I use the debugger. But here are the last few lines of the debugger log:

I'm trying to approach this logically -- if I keep my .pro and .user files, what does a re-installation of Qt delete besides the platform and tool chain?

mzimmers

Well, batspit...for lack of a better approach, I put a hello world line in my main routine and commented everything else out. It worked. I gradually reduced the commented code, waiting for the error to recur, and...poof it just went away on its own.

"Solved" seems like a boastful term for this, but I'll mark it so anyway. Thanks to all who looked...

Congratulations, you have found a heisenbug ;)

@JKSH heisenbug, eh? I wonder if these are most prevalent in Berkeley Unix systems:
