Building 64-bit Executable for My Qt Project
-
Hello Qt community,
I'm working on a Qt project, and I'd like to build a 64-bit executable for it. Currently, I have successfully built a 32-bit version, but I need the 64-bit version to take advantage of the increased memory addressing capabilities.
I'm using Qt 5.9 with Qt Creator for development. Could someone please provide guidance or steps on how to configure my Qt project to build a 64-bit executable? Are there any specific settings or considerations I should be aware of when making this transition from 32-bit to 64-bit?
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Best regards,

Hi,
The procedure is basically:
- install a 64bit build of Qt (it should be auto-detected by Qt creator)
- configure your project to use the 64bit kit that was created through the step above
- build and enjoy
