Qt Creator delegates the work of building to the used build system. Currently you can use qmake, cmake, autotools (if you enable the experimental support in Qt Creator), and a generic way to specify what to do for building and running, where you have to tell Qt Creator everything it needs to know for the different parts of what it does.

qmake is "just" the "default" build system for Qt Creator, with most extensive support (and is what the wizards generate, though that is just the current state of affairs).

The governing rule is: If the same error appears when building&running your application from a command line, it is most probably not an issue of Qt Creator. Or, the other way round, if the error does not appear when building&running your application from a command line, it is most probably an issue of Qt Creator.
