How do I pair a specific Qt version with Qt creator?

JohnFrom

There is no such tutorial so far.

I want to pair Qt 4.8.1 with Qt creator 2.4.1 or higher. I don't know what to do, can someone help me? i.e. which version of Qt 4.8.1 from this page:https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.1/

to download or is it feasible at all?

I'm using win7 64 bit.

Doesn't Qt installer already contain Qt Creator? Well, maybe it wasn't the case with old ones.
Anyway, if you need to add a Qt version to Qt Creator, just do it, what's the problem:

You can just configure Qt 4.8.1 with any Qt creator. It should work. There is no binding with Qt Version and Qt Creator. You should be able to do this in Preferences->Build->Run configuration. You can set 'qmake' at 'Qt Versions' tab, Compilers at Compiler Tab. Associate the Compiler and Qt versions at Kit tab.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've installed the 4.8.1 but it doesn't show up in the options, which is strange. And as such I'm asking which version I should install.

You can install https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.1/qt-win-opensource-4.8.1-mingw.exe which is bundled with MinGW with creator.

@Ratzz Sadly I failed to find Qt Creator after installing the package in the link you provided.

@JohnFrom
Did you already install QtCreator separately ?
Can you manually check the path "C:\Qt\Qt_Version\Tools\QtCreator" if you installed Qt in default path.

@dheerendra That's exactly what I'm talking about.

I want to pair a Qt Creator with specifically Qt version 4.8.1 and I do not know how to do that.

Add it manually (Do step #1, then step #2):

You are thorough, I like advice like this :)

That did the trick, thank you!

I did not solve the most fundamental part of my problem but I did get the combination going, all thanks to you!

I'll choose yours as the answer if I could!
