So , internally, qmake will run something like this
qmake QMAKESPEC=/usr/share/qt4/mkspec/default qt-creator.pro According to generated makefiles, QMAKESPEC is set to /usr/share/qt4/linux- g++-64 , but that path is wrong. It should be /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux- g++-64. But that shouldnt be a problem as long as the mkspec host is identified corrently.
