    Created new sample project by selecting :
    Application -> Qt Widgets Application ->build system (Cmake) in dropdown->Checked Desktop Qt 5.14.0 MinGW 64-bit.

    I can see project created in Qt creator which is not configured warning symbol before project name.

    @sush123 You need to set CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in your projects Build settings: "Projects/Build & Run/YOUR_KIT/Build/CMake"

      Yes i did that then it changed warning symbol into folder kind but then still i am getting this error :
      Running C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe C:/Users/s28194/Documents/untitled4 "-GCodeBlocks - Ninja" in C:\Users\s28194\Documents\build-untitled4-Desktop_Qt_5_14_0_MinGW_64_bit-Debug.
      CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
      -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
      See also "C:/Users/s28194/Documents/build-untitled4-Desktop_Qt_5_14_0_MinGW_64_bit-Debug/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
      CMake process exited with exit code 1.

      Also Build and run icons are disabled.

        @sush123 You should not pass -GNinja to CMake

        Other possibility would be to install Ninja and add the path to it to PATH in your projects Build settings.

          i tried adding ninja exe path under manage kits -> Cmake -> under manual i added "pathtofindninja",
          Still no changes,
          i could see error symbol with "Invalid codemodel file generated by Cmake " message under projects -> Build settings

            @sush123 said in How to create Project using CMake in Qt creator:

            kits -> Cmake

            This is for CMake and not Ninja!
            Please add the path containing ninja.exe to PATH in your projects Build settings.

                @sush123 "Projects/Build & Run/YOUR_KIT/Build/Build Environment" - edit PATH variable here (append directory containing ninja.exe).

                    This is wrong. In PATH you only add directories, so:

                     C:\Qt\Qt5.14.0\Tools\mingw730_64\bin;C:\Users\s28194\Documents
