    I built a widgets application using Qt 6 and when I tried using linuxdeployqt I was not successful in the deployment since Qt 6 is not fully supported yet. So I am trying to build my project with a Qt 5 kit (downloaded Qt5 successfully and the kit exists in Qt creator) in order to later release it with Qt 5 and use linuxdeployqt.
    Is there a way o change the building kit of an existing project with Qt creator?
    Please help, any suggestions will be appreciated.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      There's no need to "change" it. You can add the new kit to your project and, optionally after that, remove the Qt 6 kit.

        Thanks for the reply, I am not able to change the current kit of the project or I did not find from where to do so in Qt creator.

          You'll need to install Qt 5.15 first, of course
