Qt Creator MSYS2 "Cmake executable does not provide required IDE integration"

[Martin1234]

Hello,

I'm trying to use MSYS2 with Qt Creator. So I created a new Kit and tried to set the cmake executable path to the msys mingw64 path: C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\cmake.exe
but next to the name an error sign is visible and when hovering the cmake entry the following message appears:

Supports file API: false
Detection source: ""
Cmake executable does not provide required IDE integration

I checked the mingw64 cmake version and it is 3.22.2 so it newer than 3.14 where the file API support was added.

Does anybody know why I get this message?

I have the same problem... Did you solved it?
Thanks!

Qt Creator tries to run C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\cmake.exe outside of a MSYS2 context and the necessary libraries are not in path and unfortunately the error message is not helping you fix the issue.

You need to have C:\msys64\mingw64\bin in PATH in either the Kit's environment setting or in Options -> Environment -> System.

The setting should look something like: PATH=C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\;${PATH}

I faced the same issue after changing Options -> Environment -> Interface -> Text codec for tools to unicode. Fixed by reverting back to default (windows-1252).

@orto That was the case for me too. Thanks it worked after switching back to windows-1252 (actually the issue happened when I used the git extension for the first time, I didn't explicitly change the codec in the first place).
