    i am not sure really need ninja or not but not able to narrow down a reason for getting error like
    " CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
    -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!?"

    After setting CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM, this as well

      How, when and where did you set it?

        Created new sample project by selecting :
        Application -> Qt Widgets Application ->build system (Cmake) in dropdown->Checked Desktop Qt 5.14.0 MinGW 64-bit.

        I can see project created in Qt creator which is not configured warning symbol before project name.

          @sush123 You need to set CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in your projects Build settings: "Projects/Build & Run/YOUR_KIT/Build/CMake"

              @sush123 You should not pass -GNinja to CMake

              Other possibility would be to install Ninja and add the path to it to PATH in your projects Build settings.

                i tried adding ninja exe path under manage kits -> Cmake -> under manual i added "pathtofindninja",
                Still no changes,
                i could see error symbol with "Invalid codemodel file generated by Cmake " message under projects -> Build settings

                  This is for CMake and not Ninja!
                  Please add the path containing ninja.exe to PATH in your projects Build settings.

                      @sush123 "Projects/Build & Run/YOUR_KIT/Build/Build Environment" - edit PATH variable here (append directory containing ninja.exe).

                          This is wrong. In PATH you only add directories, so:

                           C:\Qt\Qt5.14.0\Tools\mingw730_64\bin;C:\Users\s28194\Documents
