Hi,

See "Adding Qt Versions":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.1/creator-project-qmake.html to tell Qt Creator where to find the Qt binaries that you built

Finally, see "Adding Kits":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.1/creator-targets.html to tell Qt Creator how to combine your compiler with the Qt binaries.

[quote]How to launch Qt 4.8.6?[/quote]Qt is a C++ library, so you don't "launch" it. Rather, you tell Qt Creator where to find Qt, so that you can use it to build programs.

That zip file does not contain Qt Creator. It only contains Qt.

You have 2 easy options:

Install Qt Creator using the Ubuntu Software Center, OR
Go to https://qt-project.org/downloads, click "Show Downloads", and get "Qt Creator 3.1.2 for Linux/X11"

To make future discussion easier, please tell me: According to your knowledge, what is the difference between "Qt" and "Qt Creator"?
