    Alt-title: a series of unfortunate events.

    Hello, I'm new here, please be gentle with the programming vernacular.

    Info:
    Linux, ubuntu 18.04
    Qt version 5.13.0
    now: Qt-5.12.0
    Qt creator version: 4.9.3(not sure, uninstalled this)
    now: Qt creator version 4.8.0
    Qmake 3.1

    Basically, I wrote a program using qt creator. The kit I used was autodetected: "Desktop Qt 5.13.0 GCC 64bit"

    On trying to release my program, I searched for ways to convert it into an appimage. I came across "linuxdeployqt". However, linuxdeployqt could not find Qt-5.13.0. I will not go into detail, but I decided to port my program to Qt5.12.0.

    I downloaded 5.12.0's online installer. After installing, the auto-detected kit "Desktop Qt 5.12.0 GCC 64bit" popped up in my kit manager. So I reconfigured my project to run on that kit, and I was met with 700+ error messages, of which a large portion were 'Missing binary operator before token "("'

    https://forum.qt.io/topic/27925/solved-qt_deprecated_since-gives-error-missing-binary-operator-before-token-in-qnamespace-h
    This forum does not help me, because I tried starting a new project in qt creator:
    file->new file/project->application->qt quick application - empty
    And the same issue occured. The problem identified in the forum was that a header file name conflicted with some other system stuff. This would be impossible on a fresh project with nothing in it(and no header files, for that matter)

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21338385/what-does-the-compiler-error-missing-binary-operator-before-token-mean
    This doesn't help me either. Something to do with incorrect syntax in preprocessor commands. Doesn't help me, I've never even touched that stuff.

    I tried uninstalling qt5.13 and 5.12 using the maintenance tool for each. Upon reinstalling qt5.12 using the online installer, and starting a fresh project, the same error occurs.

    I checked my kit manager, and confirmed that the kit was using qmake located in my installed qt5.12.0/5.12.0/lib/ folder.

    I don't really know whats going wrong, I'm guessing it isn't related to my own program, since fresh projects have the same problem. Any help appreciated

    Fresh project I created to test:
    "qt12test"
    -qt12test.pro
    -qt12test.pro.user
    -main.cpp
    -main.qml
    -qml.qrc

    Error message I got from running this fresh project using Qt5.12.0 kit:

    @Bacon
    I don't have an answer for you, but looking at your SO reference page it seems awfully like what is reported in https://stackoverflow.com/a/53566303/489865 ?

    Do you have your own source file named features.h? Can you make your compilation show the commands it is issuing, do you use the gcc's -I option?
