You could also build your plug-ins using same Qt version and compiler used to build QtCreator. This way you do not need to build QtCreator by yourself. The "About QtCreator" dialog shows you which Qt and compiler versions were used to build it.

@jsulm Yes, I know that. But I'm going to use MingW, my Qt Creator based on MSVC 2019.

Qt Creator is only an IDE, so no matter if it is build with MSVC or MinGW, nor the Qt Version used to build it.
What is important is the Qt Kit you are using to build your project.EDIT: I apologies, in case of Qt Creator Plugin, it is very important!
Have you tried to follow this https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator#windows ?EDIT2: I don't know if you have to use Qt MinGW distribution ==> https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW

@KroMignon He want to write plug-ins for QtCreator. In that case he has to use same Qt and compiler version.

I think it would be much easier to simply install MSVC2019 and compile the plugin with MSVC2019 instead - then the binary can also be used from others
