Process

In a terminal, I checked if stat was present:


stat

The following screen output convinced me it was:


stat: missing operand

Try `stat --help' for more information.

richel@richel1-desktop:~$

Obtaining the version of stat:


richel@richel1-desktop:~$ stat --version

Resulting in the following screen output, convincing me to have version 8.5 of stat:


stat (GNU coreutils) 8.5

Written by Michael Meskes.

Adding some linker flags, by adding the lines below to the project file, does not solve the problem:


QMAKE_LFLAGS += \

  --docroot=. \

  --http-server=0.0.0.0 \

  --http-port=8080

Solution

The program needs to have arguments supplied. Add the following arguments to the Run Settings:


--docroot . --http-address 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080
