      Hi guys.
      I want to use QtCreator and MSVC as a compiler instead of MinGW. I successfully compiled Qt source code with MSVC 2010. As you would have guessed, I have MSVC 2010 installed on my machine. I also registered MSVC version of Qt in QtCreator, but now the problem is that I can't select MSVC toolchain in qtcreator.
      So far, I found out that QT_INSTALL_LIBS and QT_INSTALL_BINS are not correctly configured for MSVC version of qt binaries. I guess this could be the problem, but I don't know how I should configure that variables.

      Here's the screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3055964/Untitled.gif

      Your help is much appreciated.
      Thanks

        I guess from your screenshot that you're using Qt Creator 2.2 or 2.3. Did you try using the 2.4 release candidate available "here":/wiki/Qt_Creator_Releases?

          Thanks Volker. I just installed the 2.4 RC version of QtCreator, but it didn't help at all. I tried removing and adding again the MSVC Qt version in the ide but I've got same results. How does QtCreator assigns value to QT_INSTALL_LIBS and QT_INSTALL_BINS? Maybe I can correct it by hand if I find it. I mean, when I select qmake.exe for msvc libraries, qtcreator automatically assigns incorrect pathes.
          Thanks again

            Try running "qmake -query", that is what we use to find the Qt install location, etc.

            PS: Which tool chains are offered does depend on the QtCore library. We look at it and try to find out what it will work for.

              Damn, I just remembered that during configuration phase, configure.exe couldn't copy qmake.exe to the bin directory, so I accidentally copied the one compiled with mingw. Probably this should be the problem. I will try to rebuild qt with the correct qmake and post the result here.
              BTW, those variables, QT_INSTALL_LIBS & QT_INSTALL_BINS are hardcoded in qmake? I mean, they are assigned during compilation phase?

                These values are hardcoded in to qmake. The acutal value depends on the prefix options etc. So, using qmake.exe from the MinGW build is causing the trouble. BTW - that would mangle compilation on the command line too!

                  Thanks guys. We were right, the problem was qmake compiled with mingw. I successfully recompiled my project with MSVC toolchain :)
