How do I compile the Qt source from within Qt creator?
-
I'm trying to build Qt and Qt creator from source but from the Qt creator IDE not from cmd. Is there a way to do this? All the instructions on the internet show how to do it from cmd not from the creator.
I tried to generate a.pro file to open in the creator then run with jom.exe but I always get a lot of issues and some errors.
If anyone knows how to do this that would be greatly appreciated!

Why?
Simply open the CMakeLists.txt file and build like any other CMake based project.
But I'm wondering why you want to build Qt in QtCreator. -
@jsulm I did that because when I open the CMakeLists.txt it won't let me build with jom.exe.
I want to build Qt in the creator because it's a large project that I can build inside the creator

SOLVED -
Solution is when opening the CMakeLists.txt, in the CMake configuration section under projects tab, change generator from Ninja to NMake Makefiles JOM
