Changing the tool chain from Microsoft's compiler to MinGW
-
Back in the beginning of the year I started working on my first QML application and then stepped away from it after about two months. I am now returning to it...
Originally I lived with the fact that I developed/debug the C++ side in Visual Studio 2008 and simply write the QML in Qt Creator. Now that I am returning to it, I would like to try to do everything in in Qt Creator.
In the build settings of the project, when I click on the Tool Chain's <Manage> button, there are a few MinGW options, one of them being "MinGW runtime (Provided with Qt Creator)", but selecting it and pressing either <OK> or <Apply> seems to have no effect.
What do I need to do to change the tool chain from microsoft ot mingw?

Sorry, i can't catch you. Hum, do you mean you just had your Qt Creator installed ? And you didn't install any Qt version ?
And how about your code ? It's pure C++ or Qt C++ ? It's determine what kind of tool chain you should use.:)
