Maybe You've already executed an instance on your IDE environment. Or, You used a shadow make, the executable file will be linked under shadow directory

First thing: Please check whether the file you want to run was actually created. Go into your build directory and check that it is indeed where it should be.

@tobias

yes my file is which i want to run is created, its there in build directory...

tobias.hunger

So is creator trying to run that file? What does Projects->Run Settings say? What is it trying to execute?

shoyeb

it is trying to execute...

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\spectrum.exe

and the working directory is...

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug

tobias.hunger

So does H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\spectrum.exe exist? Can you run it from the shell?

shoyeb

omg...

it is not there...
so wat shall i do then..

shoyeb

@tobias

it is working now...
the exe file which i was searching was not there in

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug

directory..
instead of that it was there in the

H:\QtSDK\Demos\4.7\spectrum-build-desktop-Qt_4_7_4_for_Desktop_-_MinGW_4_4__Qt_SDK__Debug\debug

directory..

so i changed the run configuration and its working now....

thanx tobias for pointing out my mistake...
