Qt Creator build error on Windows

[Ash V]

And yes, no file named QuickStudioEventSimulatorplugin_QtQuick_Studio_EventSimulatorPlugin.cpp.obj.d is actually present at the specified path (inside the build directory).

How to resolve?

Duplicate https://forum.qt.io/topic/156182/qt-creator-build-error-on-windows.
Please stop posting the same into multiple questions. Think about the effort someone will take to answer in one place and then someone else will take to answer in the other place, it's not very helpful or polite.
When someone knows the answer or has something useful to say they will post.
Please be patient, this is a volunteer user forum not support.

-> the filename is to long. Use a shorter path.

Hello Christian.
I trust that you're doing great!

Could you please help me out in how can I use a shorter file path.

I followed so many links, such as this one here on how to enable long paths in Windows 11. But still, this issue in my Qt Creator persists.

@JonB
Sorry for this Jon.
I'll remember this from next time. 😶 Promise.

Simply use another source and build dir.

See https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-13-cmake-update on how to enable junctions to overcome the windows long path issue.

Windows tooling is not yet up to date. Ninja can't handle long paths, gcc can't either.

By using junctions the long paths just work because they are redirected to something shorter.

Thank you so much Christian!
My Qt Creator is now able to compile my code properly.... 😊😙
