How can I make QT creator recognise different filename specifications for error / warning messages

Question

I've been using qtcreator with an scons build, and for the life of me I can't get it to recognise the compile errors/warnings and put them in the build issues tab

The only difference I can see is that whereas the qmake output is something along the lines of

..\..\myfile.cpp:123:4 error xyz not declared in this scope

the scons output is along the lines of

project\subproject\myfile.cpp:123:4 error xyz not declared in this scope

as the scons build doesn't keep changing directory and builds from elsewhere.

Is there anything I can do to persuade QTCreator to look for the files in the right place, find them, and then add the appropriate line to the build issues tab,

Answer 1

Well, I have an answer (sort of).

I created a custom compiler which pointed to the studio compiler (not a clone) and changed my kit to use that.

Then I did a compile

Then I changed back to the microsoft visual studio compiler.

And now it works.

I have no idea why
