Back slashes in Android NDK path keeps QT application from deploying

Question

I'm able to compile my application in Windows but when I try to debug on my tablet I get this error.

/usr/bin/sh: line 1: C:androidndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib: No such file or directory

I figured the problem is that under Tools->Options->Android the path to my android NDK is listed as C:\\android\\ndk so I tried replacing the back slashes with forward slashes. But when I do this the error is still there and when I open my Android options the back slashes are back.

Answer 1

I never got to the root of the problem but I created a new project and that worked just fine. Since the path to the ndk looked messed up I thought there was a problem with my QtCreator setup but simply starting a new project fixed this issue.
