The build directory needs to be at the same level as the source directory

[SPlatten]

I'm converting an existing Qt 4.8 project to Qt 5.8, the original project did not have a "qresources.qrc" file, everything was in the ".pro" file.

Having done all this using an existing Qt 5.8 project for comparison I'm seeing in the Issues pane:

    "The build directory needs to be at the same level as the source directory."

As far as I'm aware I haven't changed anything other than moving the files from the ".pro" into the resources file, the file locations are the same as before.

What does this mean?

@SPlatten Where is your build directory located? The error message says where it should be.

Thank you, the build directory was one level higher than the project folder, I've moved it now into the project folder.
