possible to copy a kit from one PC to another?
-
The title says it all - I built a kit for bare-metal on my shelter-in-place system, and would like to copy it to my work system. Is there a way to export it into a file that I can then import into my other system?
Thanks...

Tarball :)
You used to have to put the libraries in exactly the same folder when they copied them to another machine (in other words, they had to have the same absolute paths) but I believe this requirement was removed in recent versions of Qt.

@JKSH OK, but...tarball what exactly? I only want to copy one of my kits, and it would be nice it I didn't have to go back into Creator and manually update all the settings for that kit.

Tarball your Qt libraries for that kit. And tarball your cross-compiler if the other machine doesn't have it.

I've never tried to export kit settings from Qt Creator, but the sdktool might do what you want. It comes bundled with Qt Creator, and it's what the official installer uses to register kits: https://github.com/qt-creator/qt-creator/blob/master/src/tools/sdktool/README.md
If this is a once-off though, it might be faster to manually update the settings in your new PC.
