I have a working project on Qt 5.5 and I had to migrate to Qt 5.8 to use the new QCharts feature. When I tried to compile a working project (Qt 5.5) I get the following error;

:-1: error: no such file or directory: '5.8/5.8/clang_64/lib'

What does this mean? How do I resolve this?

UPDATE According to the comment I checked the director is missing;

Directory Image

Qt needs '5.8/5.8/clang_64/lib'
But my system directory is: 5.8/clang_64/lib'.
I added a 5.8 folder but then Qt reports it cannot locate the qmake file at 5.8/clang_64/lib'.

What would be my next step?

  • This will need more information to be useful. What it means is pretty clear, how to resolve will require more information. – miken32 Feb 20 '17 at 22:27
  • I mean I do know it says a 'certain' file is missing at the specified directory; but doesn't mention the 'name' of the file. i checked the directory, it has a range of files. What more info do you need? Thanks – Vino Feb 20 '17 at 22:44

    @Vino It says certain file OR directory. In this case it seems to be indeed directory `[...]/lib`. – xinaiz Feb 20 '17 at 23:02
  • @Vino There may be different causes to this. First of all I would delete `pro.user` file from the project directory, then reload project. – xinaiz Feb 20 '17 at 23:19
  • @BlackMoses I tried it but it doesn't work. Thanks, Ill try at Qt official forum. – Vino Feb 20 '17 at 23:27
  • Any news on that error? I am getting the same and I can't figure out why – SecureCake Mar 15 '17 at 14:28
  • @FastBanana I didn't fix this problem because I used another 3rd party library for my purpose. But I presume the issue can be solved by renaming the root folder of your `Qt` installation as follows; `Qt\5.8\` instead of `Qt 5.8\5.8\`. I think because `Qt` requires the root folder to be named strictly as `Qt`. – Vino Mar 15 '17 at 17:26
