Hi,

normally, calling

make qch_docs

in Creator's build directory should build the documentation for you. 
Would you like to share the commands you ran with us?

Is "!-ściągnięte" a directory you're building Creator in? I'm not sure 
whether this is supported. Does the problem persist if you build in a 
directory with a name made of good old ASCII characters?

Cheers,
Robert
