Qt Creator unable to find the executable

ludde

In "a related thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/6789, I was asking how Qt Creator locates dynamic libraries.

This time I'm wondering how it locates the executable.
If I add e.g.
@win32-msvc2008:DESTDIR = xyz@
to my .pro file, Qt Creator simply tells me it cannot find the executable.
If I instead use
@win32:DESTDIR = xyz@
it is found and executed without complaints.

To me, it looks like Qt Creator and qmake are not synched when it comes to using platform scopes. I.e. a bug in Qt Creator. Or can anyone think of another reason for this?
(I am using Qt Creator 2.2.0 on Windows 7.)

May be the line :

@win32-msvc2008:DESTDIR = xyz@

is not correct and not considered by qmake

It is correct, and it is considered by qmake. But not by Qt Creator when I press the Run button. That's the problem.

Have you "filed a bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ ? Mentioning things here in the forum will not get them fixed.

I know. I will. Just wanted to have a better understanding of what is going on before filing a bug report, so I wanted to hear if someone else was experiencing something similar, or had some other insight into what might be causing this.
