[Interest] Qt permanently broke on computer

[Jérôme Godbout]

You might try to delete the .user files for the project and clean the build folder manually (erase the whole folder). Check the project config to spot any differences there. If some project work with the same Qt version, the Qt install is probably good. Make sure all you dependencies are ok.

Update #2:

The same thing happens on a totaly new computer, never had qt on it before, installed Qt, copied the source and built it, some error.
