Build error: where to get info?

[A Former User]

How I ran the build in QT Creator, in build output tab, it gives me a red dot warning which is cryptic.
For example:
Collect2 ID return 1 exit status

I put cursor over it and press f1, I got no information.

What are the lines before the one you showed us?

This has to do with link errors, you should check the "Compile output" window of Qt Creator. :-)

Linker errors tend to be cryptic:-( Qt Creator can only display what the build system generates.

Try checking the actual compile output. Maybe there is some context information there that Qt Creator missed.

I think I was doing a test where I included ALL modules,
and see if it compiles a generated GUI test application.

Anyway, thanks.

If you declare a function in header & not implemented in source file, that can produce such similar error.
you can check the "Compile Output" Tab to see what is needed...
