Build directory grayed out ...
-
EDIT (bump ?)
I have run my project , using .pro file, and wanted to do some more changes in Build Settings.
My ":Build directory " is grayed out, BUT my project compiles and runs...Secondly
when I move the mouse to "QT 5.15.2 " it moves it to "Run"I seldom use "Run" mainly because s I do not know what starts it...
Could somebody post a link to doc on how to use these "icons"
I do not know what to ask Mrs Google for...I do not know what is happening , but the result is - I cannot implement any changes in source code .
It does not matter if I do "build" , "run quake" or "rebuild" ....It definitely looks as what I edit is NOT what is actually compiled
I'll can try to restore the "Build directory " , but like to know why I am having this issue. -
why is the directory grayed out?

Since the "Shadow build" checkbox is "off", the build directory is fixed to the project source directory. To change the build directory you need to first check that checkbox. Be aware though that qmake does not behave well if you still have previous build results lying around in your project source directory. You have to make sure that your source directory is free of any previous build artifacts. Otherwise weird thing can happen like changes in .ui files not taking any effect.

@ziller Thanks - now it makes sense.
