Hi

I'm wondering how to get the standalone file (executable) for my project, Im using Qt for c++ and still learning, currently with the console application. So I have choosed a custom location for Build which is like /home/<username>/qtprojects but i can't seem to find the standalone file of any project that I've made, there's only .pro, .pro.use, and .cpp files, using Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm new to everything, qt,c++ and Linux so hopefully ill find some guidance here. Thankyou.

Edit: I tried changing the profile to Release and changing it back to Debug but none seem to generate any new files. Tried manually "Building" the project nothing worked

The default configuration is to do a "Shadow Build", i.e. the build directory is a sibling to the project directory.

The executable is usally called like the project itself.

Cheers,
