OS updates breaks and stops ability to build

SPlatten

Today Apple rolled out updates to Operating System along with updates to Xcode, the macOS is now:

macOS Big Sur, Version 11.0.1

Xcode:

Version 12.2 (12B45b)

I'm now getting in Qt Creator:

I'm closed down Qt Creator, cleaned out the build folders, but it seems it didn't help...any suggestions?

SPlatten

@J-Hilk , if I just took the time to read the output I could have fixed it hours ago, having just done exactly that, its now fixed.

The solution, open terminal, go to build folder, delete the contents of the build folder including any hidden files, specifically on my system .qmake.stash

Then run qmake and rebuild, no more problem.

sierdzio

Just a guess, but maybe try removing build dirs and also the .pro.user file. This will completely reset project config in Qt Creator and maybe fix the issue.

I've just come back, cleaned all and rebuilt again:

@SPlatten have you by any chance, build qt yourself?
