cannot open output file debug\serbest.exe: Permission denied

Question

I compile a Qt program with C++, and I got this error message:

cannot open output file debug\\serbest.exe: Permission denied
collect2: ld return

Answer 1

Sometimes this error caused because of your antivirus added this file in the limited group. This helped me!

Answer 2

run your compiler software as admin. choose your compiler on start menu > right click and run as admin. you wil not probably see any permission denied errors.

Answer 3

It says the current user is not having enough right to write onto the debug folder. Check whether you can create a new file in the folder as referred to.

Answer 4

Most likely cause: serbest.exe is still running. Check with TaskManager.
