[Qt-creator] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[Shaun van Wyngaard (Home)]

I get this error however at a point when I'm not debugging.
If I have run it (a few times), and then when I make a change, it then 
throws this error, but not always.
It is sporadic. But once it appears, I have to restart to clear it.
