qmake path_to_source\qtcreator.pro
mingw32-make -j4
mingw32-make install

No you don't. You can use prebuilt Qt Creator with any Qt version: both MinGW and MSVC work.

Hi,

@jsulm was referring to the mingw32-make command.

@sierdzio, @sierdzio, @SGaist thanks, now installing.
@sierdzio The video in youtube has instructions for makeing own widgets.
If I try to connect my widget(which is assembled minGW) to QT(MSVC), I see a error message: the specified procedure was not found.

Ah, ok now I understand. You may need your own build of Qt Creator then, indeed.

[jsulm]

@fryn3 You could use Visual Studio Community (which is free) to build your widgets and use them in QtCreator.

@jsulm I installed. What's next?
When I start qtcreator.exe, I getting same errors

Can't find files:

Qt5Network.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll

libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libstdc++6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll

qtcreator.exe - entry point not found

[jsulm]

@fryn3 Are you sure you're starting the one you built from the location where it was installed?

[fryn3]

@jsulm absolutely. I built and installed in C:\QtCreator\build\. QtCreater(MSVC) installed is in C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator.
I'm trying to run C:\QtCreator\build\bin\qtcreator.exe.

[jsulm]

@fryn3 Then try to copy the missing libraries into the bin directory.

[fryn3]

@jsulm I tried.

1. Copy to C:\QtCreator\build\bin\

• Qt5Network.dll
• Qt5Gui.dll
• Qt5Core.dll
• Qt5Widgets.dll

2. I get errors:
   Can't find files: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libstdc++6.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll
3. Copy to C:\QtCreator\build\bin\

• libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
• libstdc++6.dll
• libwinpthread-1.dll

4. I get error:
   Can't find file: Qt5Qml.dll.
5. Copy to C:\QtCreator\build\bin\ Qt5Qml.dll file.
6. I get errors: qtcreator.exe - entry point not found

@fryn3 You're copying Qt libraries from MinGW Qt you used to build QtCreator, right? Also, did you check where "*make install" installed QtCreator?
You can use this tool to deploy your QtCreator: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
