Qt Creator kit calling wrong qmake (but from cmdline OK)

andyj25

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a native compile for my desktop (x86, Linux, 64-bit). If I execute qmake and make from the command line (terminal), things work wonderfully and the executable works.

/home/andrew/Qt/5.8/gcc_64/bin/qmake
make

When I use Qt Creator, I select my kit (I only have one):

The QT version looks OK (QT 5.8.0 GCC 64-bit):

And if I look at the 'qmake' path that's associated with the above QT version, that all looks fine too (i've highlighted it in the pic, starting with /home/andrew/)

So why when I run 'build' using the selected kit, it seems to be running the wrong qmake version?

Thanks everyone!!

Everything seems fixed after I did a project configure. Not quite sure exactly what is going on there. But everything works perfectly now and it's using the correct qmake.

Hi,

What do you mean by "project configure" ? How did you open it the first time when it was failing ?

This dialog came up, and after that, all was fixed. But I can't quite seem to know how to get it back for future reference:

Hi
if you delete the .user file it will ask again.
However, the settings are available in Projects. (left side bar)

@andyj25 You should run qmake after changing kit
