[Qt-creator] Building 3.5: Dependent 'commondefines.h' does not exist.

[Carel Combrink]

Hi,

I have cleaned up my development environment (Windows) by reinstalling Qt
(5.5) from scratch and getting the sources for Qt Creator 5.5.

When I try to build Qt Creator I get the following error:
C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe -f Makefile.qmldesignerplugin.Release

Error: dependent
'C:\Development\QtCreator\3.5\share\qtcreator\qml\qmlpuppet\interfaces\commondefines.h'
does not exist.

After a do a revert on my checkout out branch (git checkout .) the files
are there:
/c/Development/QtCreator/3.5 (3.5)
$ ls share/qtcreator/qml/qmlpuppet/interfaces/
commondefines.h  nodeinstanceclientinterface.h
nodeinstanceserverinterface.cpp
interfaces.pri   nodeinstanceglobal.h
nodeinstanceserverinterface.h

Then rebuilding the project I see the following line:
"*del

Why is QtCreator deleting the files and then during build trying to build
the files?

Did I forget to do something regarding setup before trying to build Qt
Creator?

PS: I did the cleanup and reinstall in Windows 7 and had this issue. I
decided not to follow up on this since I was planning to upgrade to Windows
10. Now in Windows 10 it does exactly the same.

I am using MSVC 2013.
