    @aha_1980 I got it from the source nearly a year ago and was working with it until yesterday when I installed a new windows
    the warning always appeared but it doesn't cause any problems , also I'm now able to compile qt console applications very well

    Again: Which compiler was used to build the Qt4?

    Have you installed the service packs for MSVC 14.0?

    Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          during configuring qt 4.8 I got this in the configuration :
          QMAKESPEC...................win32-msvc2015 (commandline)

          is this the cause of the problem ?

            the problem seems to be not appearing on qt creator 4.4 but when I installed new windows and downloaded qt creator 4.7 the qt 4.8 kit didn't work

            did you drop the qt 4 support ?

              Hi,

              AFAIK, there was no support drop of Qt 4 in Qt Creator.

              You can also install Qt 4.8.7 using the online installer. You can then check if there are other troubles with your version of Qt Creator.

                I don't know if the Qt Creator engineers decided to drop support or not, but Qt 4 reached End-of-Life in December 2015. That means nobody checks if Qt 4 still works properly in newer products; it's possible that something broke but nobody realized.

                You can try installing Qt Creator 4.4 and see if that helps: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.4/

                    If you need to support an old version of Qt, then I recommend you keep using Qt Creator 4.4.

                      It may be that nobody checks if Creator is still compatible with Qt4, but I can successfully work with Creator 4.7, Qt 4.8.2 and MSVC 2010 SP1, including debugging.

                      The Qt version was not self compiled, it was an official release.

                      Regards

                      Qt has to stay free or it will die.
