Hi, There are some on-going peculiarities with CMake and translation files, as evidenced here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-76410 While maybe not directly related to your issue, would still be good to keep in mind as you decipher your problem.
Happy New Year!

I don't have any specific knowlege, but if it were me, I would check Sysinternals diskmon and see where/whow/who is setting the read-only flag. (Asuming I checked and the flad is actually set) Also likely - there is a process in that directory that is preventing deletion and windows is not reporting it accurately. I've not used windows in a while but I remember it being picky about such things.

Dear all, It's been a while since I asked my last question here - or posted anything meaningful, for that matter - so first of all "Hello!" and "Merry Christmas / Holidays" :) I have started a new Qt 5.15.2 (open source) project on Windows 10 (due to a dependency on Flight Simulator 2020, specifically SimConnect.dll ;)), and since Qt 6 will default to cmake (as I understand) I also chose cmake in the Qt Creator 4.14.0. The problem: "rebuilding" (QtCreator: "Build/Rebuild All Projects") the project fails when trying to generate the translation *.ts files respectively the correspoding "list" (?) file: FAILED: C:/dev/Qt/MainWindow/MainWindow_de_DE.ts CMakeFiles/MainWindow_de_DE.ts_lst_file cmd.exe /C "cd /D C:\dev\Qt\build-MainWindow-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug && C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin\lupdate.exe @C:/dev/Qt/build-MainWindow-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug/CMakeFiles/MainWindow_de_DE.ts_lst_file -ts C:/dev/Qt/MainWindow/MainWindow_de_DE.ts" lupdate error: List file 'C:/dev/Qt/build-MainWindow-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug/CMakeFiles/MainWindow_de_DE.ts_lst_file' is not readable. ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. Initially I thought that this is yet another issue with whitespace in the build path, but that's not the case (I now moved it from c:/Users/Oliver Knoll/work/... to c:/dev/Qt/work/... - that is, no spaces in path anymore). However I noticed that some directories in the "build" directory (c:/dev/Qt/build-MainWindow-Desktop_...) have the "Write Protected" flag set: .cmake CMakeFiles MainWindow_autogen The Windows 10 "Properties" dialog says: "Write-Protected (only concerns files in the directory)" (or similar, in German: "Schreibgeschützt (betrifft nur Dateien im Ordner). So when trying to manually delete those folders a dialog pops up asking me for administrator rights, and when I click on Continue (with admin rights) then another dialog tells me that I need the corresponding access rights from user "Oliver Knoll" - well, that's exactly my user (with admin rights). However I can "cd" into the remaining directories and delete all files without problems, and after that I can delete the entire build folder at last. Back in Qt Creator a CTRL + B (Build Project "MainWindow") then re-builds the project again. Another - proper? - solution, in Qt Creator (all in "Build" menu): * Clean Project "MainWindow" * Clear CMake Configuration (at that point the subdirectory .cmake/api/v1/query (and reply) still remains, plus 3 "ninja" related files and cmake_install.cmake) * Run CMake * Rebuild Project "MainWindow" It works, but... really? 4 steps instead of just one? Is that the proper "CMake way" (I am totally new to CMake) to rebuild a project from scratch? The above example refers to a simple "MainWindow" project setup in Qt Creator as follows: * New File Or Project * Qt Widgets Application * Name: MainWindow (any name) * Build System: CMake * Default classes/files, including Generate form * Add any translation language * Default Qt Kit: Qt 5.15.2 MinGW 64-bit * No version control The above experiments were done with the default generated CMakeLists.txt. Development environment: * Qt 5.15.2 Open Source * QtCreator 4.14.0 * CMake 3.19.0 (installed via Qt Installer) * Windows 10 2004 (all updates installed) * Except the MS FS2020 SDK (SimConnect.dll) there are no other developer tools installed (specifically no other CMake, no Visual Studio, no other compilers etc.) * "Default Windows Home installation" (one user - Oliver Knoll - with admin rights; yes, it's a "gaming machine" ;)) Other: * Most likely not relevant, but: it is a "Windows To Go" installation (created/installed via tool "WinToUSB"), installed on an external SSD (which is connected to a Mac ;)) The full compilation error during a "Rebuild" (without clearing the CMake configuration): 12:02:08: Running steps for project MainWindow... 12:02:08: Starting: "C:\Qt\Tools\CMake_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target clean [1/2 54.3/sec] Cleaning additional files...
