    Hi there,

    I had to reinstall my whole ubuntu system and my developing environment. Now when I want to compile my qt project I instantly get this error:

    19:06:10: Running steps for project rppg-online_FVP_v2...
    19:06:10: Could not create directory "/build-rppg-online_FVP_v2-Desktop_Qt_5_12_1_GCC_64bit-Release"
    Error while building/deploying project rppg-online_FVP_v2 (kit: Desktop Qt 5.12.1 GCC 64bit)
    The kit Desktop Qt 5.12.1 GCC 64bit has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
    When executing step "qmake"
    19:06:10: Elapsed time: 00:00.
    

    Interestingly other projects do work. What could be the problem?

      The build directory looks strange for a linux machine. AFAIK this is not possible, because it would be an absolute folder on linux.
      
      In creator go to "Tools"->"Options"->"Build&Run" 
      Check the "Default build directory" that seems to be wrong. Introduce a dot before slash or reset.

        After resetting the build directory:

        ../%{JS: Util.asciify("build-%{CurrentProject:Name}-%{CurrentKit:FileSystemName}-%{CurrentBuild:Name}")}
        

        The problem still remains.

          Hi @t3rb3d,

          Please delete the .pro.user file and try again.

          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

              Qt 5.12.1 is not yet released.

              What happens if you use a kit from the official installer?

                I have installed the 5.12.0 Qt version and now it works!
                Thank you for your help!
