moc_predefs.h is the only file that i cant find ! -
@jsulm HI jsulm I think you might have it!
I can't find cl.exe for visual studio 2013 I have it for 2012 and 2017
I selected c++ in the modified instal for 2013 but it's just not there
do you have an idea on how to get it in there I might have to reinstall -

@wazza C++ tools are not installed by default. I think you need to start the installer again and select C++.

@jsulm I have reinstalled msvs2012, and it installed it in a file that is labelled
Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin that was there previously but I had assumed was an
older studio, so cl.exe is there! we are back to square 1 -
@jsulm when I first installed qt the only kit warning was for the cdb.exe debugger and I just pointed it to the debugger yesterday
-
@wazza One moment: didn't you install Qt for VC2013 and not 2012? If so then you need VC2013 compiler.
@jsulm Yes it is installed qt for VC2013 I have installed VC2013 with the c++ cl.exe it is just installed in a path labelled C:\Program Files (x86)\Micrsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin the 12.0 is the version number of VC2013 as 2013 spand two versions 11.0 and 12.0

@wazza OK, I saw "I have reinstalled msvs2012".
Can you create a simple console project in QtCreator and try to build it (without changing anything)?@jsulm yes sorry about that, yes I can do simple console application and it builds and runs without a problem
(well except for a missing ; my bad ) also other c++ applications in the examples are ok as well and I have noticed the ones that are not building and giving problems are some of the QML and data visualisation examples
i have built some of the qml examples and the build ok -
@wazza OK, I saw "I have reinstalled msvs2012".
Can you create a simple console project in QtCreator and try to build it (without changing anything)?@jsulm I have uninstalled everything and just installed VC2015 and then installed qt5.8 MSVS2015 and the examples build and run without issues. it was a whole day operation! but thank you for all the help and the questions you asked helped me to understand the way QT works.

@wazza said in New install, Problems compiling some examples:
Understand the way QT works.
Actually its not really related to Qt but how DLLS works.
a DLL contains code, both functions, and classes.
To use the classes from another app, then both app and DLL should be compiled with
somewhat THE SAME compiler as else it cannot use these classes at all.So that is why
Qt2015 MUSt be with VS 2015 compiler
or
Qt mingw must be with mingw compiler
and that Qt 20143 do not work with Vs 2015 :) -

when I referred to how qt works I meant how the build process works with the packages his questions forced me to look under the hood so to speak -
