Qt Creator always rebuilds all files in project

Re: Qt Creator always rebuilds all files in project

yesterday, i could make a change to one file in my large project, and hit build, and it would build that one file and link.

Now, when i hit build, it rebuilds everything in the project. If i then do NOTHING but hit build again, it rebuilds everything in my project.

i've tried:

• ensuring my system clock is right
• throwing out the .user file and regenerating it

I do not know what else to do. Why does this happen?

okay figured it out.

i had been getting files from others around the world. apparently the mod dates in zip files don't contain time zone information, so all the files had a future mod-date. i did a recursive touch to set all mod dates to NOW, and my problem goes away.

thanks for thie hints!!

@davecotter

Did you check the settings under Options->Build&RUn->General ?
What is your OS and Creator version?

Did you also reboot your PC?
