Creating a new Qt Quick Application with cmake already has errors

pillexyz_z

Hey!

I'm a fairly beginner using Qt, but I can't even to manage to run a new project without issues.

When I make a new Qt Quick Application (compat) with qmake it works fine but I can't use Qt 6.5 only 6.2 (or older).
If I make a Qt Quick Application which only allows me to use cmake it doesn't even start.
Honestly I have no idea why it's not working, I tried to search for a solution for hours.

This is what I see in the general messages window:

And this is what I see in the issues window:

It may be an issue with your project directory with with spaces "C:/Projects/Qt Projects/untitled"
See the space between Qt & Projects. Try with different directory without spaces & see how does it go.

@dheerendra Oh god I don't want to believe this worked. I tried multiple locations but apparently every one of them had spaces in them. Thanks for the help!!!!
