    Description

      Since upgrading to 4.1.0, have started to get the warning "The build directory needs to be at the same level as the source directory."

      The structure I use is:

      • Shadow
      • Toplevel.pro
      • Build
      • Build 1
      • Build 2

      Ct Creator seems to now want Build 1 and Build 2 to be at the same level as Toplevel.pro

      This used to happen around 2011, but was fixed. The bug seems to have come back since.
