Description
I am on a 14.04 32-bit system. At startup there are several errors regarding permission denied when writing .xml files:
"Cannot overwrite file /home/ravelab/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qtversion.xml" (in the event I had run a prior Qt version and it had left some files around) or
"Cannot create file ..." (in the event I had cleaned out the .config directory).
the list of files impacted are:
- qtversion.xml
- devices.xml
- profiles.xml
- toolchains.xml
- debuggers.xml
- cmaketools.xml
- qnxconfigurations.xml
I have tried completely wiping the directory: "rm -rf ~/.config/QtProject". I have inspected the permissions and they are all okay.
This is not a problem when compiling Qt Creator 4.2.2 against Qt 5.6.1 on the same system using the same procedure. This is not a problem using the same exact procedure for compiling Qt 5.11.1 and Qt Creator 4.6.2/4.7.0 on similarly configured a 14.04 64-bit system. I have not tested versions in between Qt Creator 4.2.2 and 4.6.2, nor have I tried versions other than Qt 5.11.1 or 5.6.1. Unfortunately 4.6.2/4.7.0 are too new for using 5.6.1, and vice versa 4.2.2 does not compile using qmake from Qt 5.11.1.
Here's what's left behind after clearing out the QtProject dir, running qtcreator, "ok" through all the errors, then exiting qtcreator, clearly showing that files can be created in this directory:
