    Hi!
    Have a trouble with adding MinGW.
    Qt was installed (Windows 10 x64) without MinGW.
    MinGW was downloaded and installed separately.
    Is it possible to fix this without reinstalling Qt with MinGW option?

    Thank you!

      Hi,

      If by fix you mean download the MinGW version used to build Qt, then yes. Just start the Maintenance Tool and select the compiler there.

        @SGaist No. I mean setting up MinGW, which is separately installed. For building qt apps off course. Is it possible?

          Did you add the compiler in Qt Creator ?

              From the looks of it you only have Qt builds for Visual Studio installed. You can mix that with MinGW.
