qtcreator: No executable specified

[gringer]

I'm trying to compile PatternPaint on my Debian box so that I can run it (the packaged version was giving me a segmentation fault). I've finally got it to compile by installing the Debian packages qtcreator [v 4.6.0-2] and libqt5serialport5-dev [v 5.10.1-2], but the 'run' button from within qtcreator doesn't work (it reports Starting... No executable specified).

I'd just like to point out that this is my second attempt at using qtcreator, and the first project that I've been able to successfully compile (in this case, with no change to the provided code), so I'm a little shocked to have got this far already.

Can you try using the official Qt release:
https://www.qt.io/download-thank-you?os=linux
https://www.qt.io/download-thank-you?os=linux32

My guess would be this is a configuration issue with the Debian packages, so it'd be interesting to test if the qt-provided version is functional, and work back from there.

It looks like the issue might have been that I didn't do the test first. At least, after I changed the Run configuration to libblinky-test (by clicking on the Project icon), and ran the test, I was able to change back to 'app' and run it.
