Problem in rebuild/build/clean in Qt Creator

[leonardo M B]

So I'm having linking error with new files I added to our big project. I think it must be something that is not cleaned in the project, but my files are not rebuilded it all, I have to manually delete all of them.

I found the following difference between the Makefile.debug of one of my colleagues and mine.

Mine:

distclean: clean 	
	-$(DEL_FILE) .qmake.stash debug/lib.a	
	-$(DEL_FILE) $(DESTDIR_TARGET)	
	-$(DEL_FILE) Makefile.Debug

Colleague(The one that works):

distclean: clean 
	-$(DEL_FILE) debug/lib.a
	-$(DEL_FILE) $(DESTDIR_TARGET)
	-$(DEL_FILE) Makefile.Debug

So I supose I have to have the same MakeFile result after the qmake. How can I adjust it?

@leonardo-M-B The Makefile is created when you run qmake against your PRO file.

@leonardo-M-B I guess your Qt Creator version could be newer than the one of your colleagues because .qmake.stash is available . Your distclean might be even better since it deletes .qmake.stash as well. No worries about the difference.
make distclean simply deletes everything in the build dir.
yours is even cleaner.
