Cannot configure QtCreator using CMake on Ubuntu 18.04

I am trying to setup a project based on CMake with QtCreator.

In Projects I defined the Build Steps I need.

In the Build setting I get constantly the error message:

Failed to activate protocol version: "CMAKE_GENERATOR" is set but incompatible with configured generator value

I tried to browse on the Internet for this problem but I could not get rid of this error.

If now I however try to build my project specifying a target, my compile steps are not executed, instead, I get the following message:

Running "/usr/local/bin/cmake -E server --pipe=/tmp/cmake-W2VOXm/socket --experimental" in xxxx/.Build/release.

CMake Project parsing failed.

Parsing of CMake project failed: Connection to CMake server lost.

Restarting QtCreator does not help, each time the project is opened the message happens again.

I have seen and resolved this issue previously by just deleting the build folder, reloading qtcreator and rerunning cmake.

I got a similar error and have fixed it.

  1. Try to reinstall cmake in Ubuntu by follwing https://cgold.readthedocs.io/en/latest/first-step/installation.html#ubuntu.

  2. Configurate Tools - Options - build & run regarding "cmake" and "kits". Make sure that one of the configurations (auto-detected or maunal) is corrected.

  3. restart qt creator, open project and "run cmake" again.

Make sure the build directory it's in the same directory than your projects is, like this:
