What is happening to my "Kits"?

EverydayDiesel

Hello,

I am wondering why qt creator keeps telling me I have no kits defined. Here are the steps I am following.

Install QT, everything works fine, kits are installed.
Reboot the machine
QT Widets Application wizard says there are no kits defined.
"Kit selection
QT creator can use the following kits for the project ProjectTest:
No Valid kits found
Please add a kit in the options or via the maintenance tool of the SDK"

Does anyone know why I am losing my configuration? Also how do I get to this maintenance tool?

Hi @EverydayDiesel,

Could you please post screenshots of the following?
- Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Kits
- Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Qt Versions
- Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Compilers
How did you install Qt?
How did you launch Qt Creator?

I installed qt by going to this link and downloading "Qt 5.4.1 for Linux 64-bit (543 MB)"
https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/

I launched qt creator by clicking on "C++ IDE for developing QT applications"

Where do you find this option? I have a feeling this is not the copy that you installed.

Do you know which folder you installed Qt 5.4.1 in? Go to that folder and launch <Qt>/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator. Then, check the "Qt Versions" tab again -- I believe you should see your installed Qt 5.4.1 now.

I am not sure how that happened but it did work!

THANKS!

@EverydayDiesel: You're welcome :)

You have 2 copies of Qt Creator in your system. One of them knows where to find your kit, but the other one doesn't.

Hi,

To add to @JKSH I'd say: your distribution provided Qt Creator VS the one you installed
