Hi Andrea,

Mmm, I'm running & debugging QGIS in
Qt Creator 4.7.2
Based on Qt 5.11.2 (GCC 8.2.0, 64 bit)
On Debian Testing

And for what I know most people who use an ide to compile QGIS use
QtCreator. Never seen your error message.

Are you sure you have all dependecies? Are you able to just compile it
just using cmake or ninja?

If it helps, this is current configure for me:

 ccmake -GNinja -DBUILD_TESTING=FALSE -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
-DWITH_SERVER=TRUE -DWITH_3D=TRUE
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/richard/bin/qgis/master/debug
-DWITH_QWTPOLAR=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DGDAL_CONFIG=/home/richard/bin/gdal/bin/gdal-config
-DQT5_3DEXTRA_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt53DExtras.so
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/richard/git/qgis/external/qt3dextra-headers/cmake
-DQT5_3DEXTRA_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/richard/git/qgis/external/qt3dextra-headers
..

Anybody else here seen this msg's, or can help Andrea?

Regards,
