How do I use qt5.15 on qtCreator 9? - Legacy Support
-
Hello,
I've come across some pretty persistent bugs with the Windows 10 Multimedia support in qt6.5, and creator10, and want to go back to qt5.15, on creator9, with a qMake build and troubleshoot things there - this seems very stable, predictable, and what most of the example content within creator is built around.However, I feel like I'm in an impossible double bind, with the dramatic Qt changes made in the last few months.
- I recently uninstalled everything, and reinstalled ONLY 5.15 (qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.0-online.exe)
- Yes, the online installer supports 5.15, but does not give an option for creator9.
- I believe ONLY creator9 supports qMake, and 5.15 project creation.
If this is correct, I am currently locked into creator10 with a minimum version support of 6.2, and I feel I am not provided the tools to work with 5.15 at all.
Am I missing something? I was able to install this architecture in April, and it seems to be unavailable right now.

Do you know why Qt creator is only giving me options to use cmake and qbs with a minimum build of 6.2, 6.4, or 6.5?@phil61628 said in How do I use qt5.15 on qtCreator 9? - Legacy Support:

Do you know why Qt creator is only giving me options to use cmake and qbs with a minimum build of 6.2, 6.4, or 6.5?When creating a new project, you want to select "Qt Quick Application (compat)". This option was not available in Qt Creator 10.0.1, but is available in version 10.0.2 (and 11.0.0-RC1)

No, why should it? You can use qmake and any Qt version you want with any QtCreator version.

I inherited a project in 5.15 built with qmake, and I am adding qml to an originally console application.I have had trouble with the qml multimedia support in 6.5, and would like to troubleshoot in the original architecture again.
Could you share a link to any resources on creating a qmake project with the command line like you’re suggesting? Thank you!

@phil61628 I guess multimedia module has been reworked a lot in Qt6. You may not be able to run your multimedia related code made from Qt 5.15 anymore in Qt6.

@JoeCFD Yes, even the changes from 6.2->6.5 have been a lot to keep track of.
Part of the overall challenge has been figuring out the best architecture to rewrite the existing 5.15 code. Migrating the c++ from the old qmake console application, but writing/rewriting it with a qml frontend.
The benefit of qml is the design and gesture support - which have been very intuitive so far - the tricky part has been exploring the changes from qt5 to qt6 with the changes.
Ive already written and broke projects in 6.2, 6.4, and 6.5 with different underlying troubles in each version.
Ideally, having explored qt6 inside creator10 with a cmake build, the next logical step feels like going back to 5.15 in creator9 with a qmake build. Herein is my problem though: the current online installer and creator ‘new project’ dialog are not legacy supported (at least on windows 10), and I’ve had no luck with the offline installers / repo.
