No valid kits found
-
Hello I am new to Qt and programming. In class we're were told to use Qt Creator, but I cannot create a project, because the program tells me that "there were no valid kits found". I am using version 4.4.1.
I am probably missing something, also I have seen that other people in class, when installing the program could choose which libraries, compilers etc. they wanted to add, but I didn't have that option during the installation. Also, the size of the download was, at least so I was told, around 30GB while mine had a size of 700 MB.
Do I have to manually add the kits and if thet's the case how do I do this?
As you can probably tell by now I really am completely new to not just Qt, but this kind of thing in general.
I hope that someone can help me since I have no clue how to solve this (probably simple) problem.Krammy

Hi.First, thanks for the quick reply.
I am using Windows 10 as OS.
And yes I used the online installer. Though I do not know exactly what I selected during the installation. I just accepted the default settings. If it is as you say and I somehow deselected all the components, how do I (re-)install them?Krammy

Best is to restart the MaintenanceTool.exe and use the first option
like here:
Here is an example of what I have installed.
For starting you need at least one version of Qt libs (e.g. Qt 5.9.2).
Either you load all, which is quite a bit or you should load / check
This installs the MinGW pre-build and you need also to check the appropriate compiler under tools. The compiler for the pre-build is for Qt 5.9.2 MinGW 5.3.0 . If you like to install another MinGW pre-build, you need this compiler as well.
You could use also the MSVC201* versions, but there you need to install the MSVC201* compiler version,which you have to purchase or to install the respective community version.
As you see I am working with MinGW, which is fine. From my point of view no need to go for MSVC versions.

I found MaintenanceTool.exe installed in
C:\Qt. I didn't know it existed until I found this bug report via https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-1125?jql=text ~ "qt creator install can't add kit" while beginning to create my own report.It would be helpful and reduce a lot of confusion if a Start Menu link to this tool was created adjacent to Qt Creator. (I suggest a name like
Qt Update Tool) -
