Hardcoded QMAKESPEC in Qt Creator?

Question

I installed Qt SDK (Qt framework + Qt Creator) but didn't like the layout of folders so I deleted it (without uninstalling), moved framework in one place and Qt Creator in another and installed Qt framework and Qt Creator separately placing each over the respective old one.

The problem is Qt Creator in Projects/Build Settings/Build Steps keeps showing the old path to the specification file:
-spec c:/qt/2009.03/qt/mkspecs/win32-g++

Setting QMAKESPEC environment variable either in the system or in Projects/Build Environment doesn't change anything.

How can I force Qt Creator to see and use new location of the specification file?

Answer 1

I don't have Qt Creator installed, but I suppose it may store this setting somewhere on filesystem, look in your %HOME% or %APPDATA% for directories associated with Qt Creator and search the files inside for this path.

Answer 2

This does not fully solve the issue but if you add '-spec' (without quotes) in the additional arguments box in build steps -> qmake, then it removes the win32-g++ argument.

NOTE: I have NOT been able to build the project after doing this (i changed it to win32-icc and win32-msvc2008 as i have both the intel c++ compiler and VS2008) but the build fails with the error ---- "*** MIssing Separator. Stop." in the makefile

Answer 3

Have you tried going into Projects->Build Settings->General and clicking on the "Manage Qt Versions" and making sure that everything there is all correct?
