Hi all,

I've been banging my head against this for quite a few hours and am 
getting nowhere, so maybe someone out there can help: Sometime in the 
past few months, Beru [1] has lost the ability to be run from within Qt 
Creator.  When I hit the run button, it compiles, makes a click 
package, and puts in the device, although with the launcher script.  
And then it pops up a dialog, "Could not find the executable, please 
specify one" [2].  If I put a command in there, it tries to run it in 
the build chroot.

When I look at the project tab, I see that the "Run configuration" is 
set to "Custom Executable", and it has various options for the 
executable and command line.  In contrast, if I create a new project, 
it has a "Run configuration" of the name of the project and no options. 
I've tried deleting my *.user file from Beru, but this persists.  I've 
tried copying over the relevant bits from the *.user file in the new 
project into Beru's copy, but they get overwritten as soon as Qt 
Creator starts.  I've tried cloning Beru into a new directory, and Qt 
Creator sets the new project up the exact same way.

As I said, this used to work a few months ago.  I don't think I've 
changed anything build-related since then.  I do know Qt Creator and 
its Ubuntu plugins have been updated since then, so I suspect something 
changed.  Can anyone think of what it is, or point me in the direction 
of someone who would know.

It should be noted that Beru's build system is not the standard one 
you'd get from starting with the QML+extension template, for historical 
reasons.  Don't assume that my CMakeLists files have what you expect 
them to have.

Thanks,
Robert
