QtCreator issues ld: warning: directory not found for vcpkg Qt

I installed Qt5 with vcpkg on macOS Catalina. And installed QtCreator using the online installer.

Then on QtCreatpr, Preferences, Kits, Qt Versions I added qmake from both

/Users/user/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/tools/qt5/bin
/Users/user/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/tools/qt5/debug/bin

It seems to be working fine but there is one thing, when building a project it returns

 ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/user/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/debug/lib/manual-link'

What is that warning telling me?

Solution

  • What is that warning telling me?

    Just that the directory /Users/user/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/debug/lib/manual-link does not exist. If you want to get rid of the error just create the folder itself. vcpkg is probably manually adding it somewhere without checking if it actually exists.
