So upon installing and using the Qt Creator, and attempting to make my first test program I got a weird error when trying to compile:
"File MakeFile.Debug doesn't exist."
I searched for it on google but found very little help, many thought it was a bug.
Actually this occurs when your qt is in a directory that requires administrator permissions. When you try to compile, I'm assuming it can't output MakeFile.Debug or MakeFile.Release so it says it doesn't exist.
You can fix this by closing out the qt creator, running it as administrator, going back to your project, and re-building it. Then it will be successful. :)
If it still doesn't work, make sure your project is for windows desktop and not windows phone :D.
Cheers!
