Error while building project Text_Editor (target: Desktop)

I have no clue on that. I just installed it, created a new project and got that error instantly.

What worked for me was the way I added headers in a .pri.

This works...

HEADERS += ../serialportwidget.h
HEADERS += ../serialportworker.h
SOURCES += ../serialportwidget.cpp
SOURCES += ../serialportworker.cpp

or this

HEADERS += ../serialportwidget.h \
../serialportworker.h
SOURCES += ../serialportwidget.cpp \
../serialportworker.cpp

This doesn't...

HEADERS += ../serialportwidget.h \ ../serialportworker.h
SOURCES += ../serialportwidget.cpp \ ../serialportworker.cpp

I had pretty much the same problem just now. Without getting into "why" - I unticked "Shadow build" from project options and my build was succesful. Funny part is - "Shadow build" worked yesterday, and nothing really changed that much in between.

Try to change your build directory from C:/Qt/2010.05/Text_Editor-build-desktop to C:/Qt/2010.05/Text_Editor.

To do this just open your project in Qt creator, left click on Project on the left pane, then open build settings tab and edit Build directory input field.

For reason or another it is not able to find your main.cpp (g++: ..\Text_Editor\main.cpp: No such file or directory). Basically that path should be ok if you have shadow build toggled on.

Location where the main.cpp is tried to find is:

C:/Qt/2010.05/Text_Editor/main.cpp

Double check that this is proper location (notice also case sensitivity to be sure)

you can try toggling off the shadow build from project -> check off shadow build. And also you should check that Text_Editor.pro contains properly the main.cpp.

Edit: It might be also wise to create that project outside the Qt binary folder, to some other more logical folder.
