[SOLVED] Change build path/directory
-
Hello,
this seems like it is easealy done, but I just can't get it to work.
I want to open and build my project on an other computer with the same Qt Version (for deployment tests).
For test cases I made a simple demo project to test if I installed the qwt plugin correctly.
Now when I want to build my real project, the debug build gets build in the same directory as the demo and when I want to build a release version the directory path is the same as the path on the other computer.
New PC: C:\users\user1\build\release thats where I want to build the release
Old PC: C:\users\user1\build-MyProject-release thats what Qt says where it wants to build the release
So the compiler stops and gives me the error: Can't create directory: "C:\users\user1\build-MyProject-release" on the new PC.
I also tried to change the build path on the old PC with the given options, but the build directory stays the same.I have set the build path in "Tools>Options>Build&Run" but the changes there are doing nothing.
I also tried to set the DESTDIR variable in the .pro file. I used this: link text for the .pro file.Both projects are the same from a Server with SVN. So I kinda understand why the release build path is set to the path of the old computer but I don't understand why Qt doesn't accept my path changes.
I use:
Qt Creator 3.3.1
Qt 5.4.1So my question now is: Why does Qt doesn't change the build directory name/path and how could I change it.
Thanks for any help

and if you just change it via Projects (lefts side, under welcome, edit etc) and then
the Build directory in the General part ?The "Tools>Options>Build&Run is the default directory and will take effect if you make a new project.
As far as i Know.
