Using Qt Creator with non-standard Windows Qt build
-
I am currently using Qt 5.9.6 and, on Windows, I use the exact same pre-built package that can be downloaded from Qt.
My company is about to upgrade to 5.15 but this time our devops team is making a custom Windows build to incorporate some specific requirements from some of the teams using it.
My question is about how I go about using my company's build of Qt with Qt Creator; what is the general approach one would take to do this? I guess I have to do something like creating a manual kit?
I think this won't be an issue for other teams as their use of Qt is quite longstanding, they don't use Qt Creator, and their Qt compilation is fully incorporated into whatever build systems they are using. My project is fairly recent and I have used Qt Creator and qmake and so on from the outset.

Yes. Simply add manually that custom Qt version and then create a Kit based on that Qt version.
