    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.

                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
