No supported kits for fresh install of Qt 6.8.3 with Qt Creator 16.0.0
-
Hi,
I'm not able to create and build a new, empty Qt Quick Application project in Qt Creator 16.0.0 with Qt 6.8.3 on Windows 11 with MinGW. I get a warning saying no suitable kits found. Strangely, I can add the Qt6.8.3 kit manually to an older version of Qt Creator (v 14.0.2 from Qt6.7 install) and it works just fine. Additionally, I can build a previously existing qmake (not cmake) project with Qt Creator 16.0.0 and Qt6.8.3 just fine.
Does anyone know why the default Qt6.8.3 / Qt Creator 16.0 install does not work? Why is the auto-detected Qt6.8.3 not a valid kit? I don't see any errors related to the kit.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Qt Creator 16.0.0 and Qt 6.8.3, but there was no change.
See screenshots below:

I figured it out. Interestingly, cmake was not selected on the Qt installer by default. I had to install cmake through the Qt Maintenance Tool and then select the cmake version on the Qt6.8.3 default kit. I find it very strange that it was not installed by default. Tricky tricky...
