Cannot add compiler to Qt Creator 4.15.0 on MacOS 12.0.1

choishingwan

I am currently trying to add my brew gcc compiler to QT creator.
Reading the documents, it suggest me to do the following

Going to Preference -> Kits -> Compilers -> Add

When I click the Add button, I can see multiple options:

ICC, GCC, Clang, Custom and QCC

but I cannot click on any of them. I will hear a short "doo" sound and then that's it.
Sometimes, I did manage to click on one of those button and an additional selection of C and C++ is provided, yet the same "doo" sound is heard when I click on them with no further options provided.

I have tried to reinstall the QT Creator yet the same problem occurs. What should I do?

Thanks

@choishingwan is there a reason for using this particular compiler? I develop actively on 12.0.1 using Qt installed via online installer + Xcode and it just works.

Want to use c++20 concepts. And for some reason, my Xcode only installed clang 10.0.0. Am really only using QT creator as an IDE and are not using any QT features, so I did not install any of the QT packages as they are 20+GB

Only if you install Qt for all the different platforms (like MacOS, iOS, Android, ...). You should of course only install what you really need...

@choishingwan maybe you can't add a compiler, when your Qt Versions tab is empty? Which would be odd and unlogical

Let me try and see if installing the QT based compiler will help

Hi,

There's no Qt based compiler. On macOS Xcode is used to build the framework.
