Compiler path field

[lee_roy]

Unable to run example, where is the path to the directory where the compiler is located?

Qt installers don't include any compilers, you need to install them yourself (the only exception to this is the MinGW package).

[lee_roy]

By install them myself do you mean download? If so I would like to know how to find it.

[sierdzio]

And how do you expect me to guess what OS are you on and which Qt package have you installed? ;)

[lee_roy]

Windows 8, Qt Creator

OK, so I guess you need MSVC compiler. If the package you have installed mentiones "MSVC2010", you need to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, if it mentiones "MSVC2012", you need to install MSVS 2012.

[lee_roy]

It mentions "MSVC2012" and I guess you meant I need MSVC 2012. The Microsoft store only sells 2013.

[sierdzio]

Yep, MS has given us all the middle finger by stopping distribution of 2012.

Maybe you can find the compiler somewhere in Microsoft SDK, but I doubt it. So, there is no easy solution for you, sorry ;) Apart from maybe uninstalling the current package and trying MinGW.

Hi, you can download MSVC 2012 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=34673
