<![CDATA[Build QT Creator 5.15.2 from qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.zip]]>Hello,

I have to install QT Creator 5.15.2
I did not find the binaries so I downloaded qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.zip
Then:

configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -opensource -confirm-license -release -nomake examples -nomake tests

The configure was completed.
Then I ran nmake.

After a while I got:

Can you please advise where is my mistake ?

Thank you,

And it should be fine.

Qt Creator versions and Qt versions are not related.
You can use a current version of Qt Creator to work on your Qt 5 projects.

Highly appreciate your reply.

I managed to install QT 5.15.2 with the maintenance tool.
What QT Creator should I use ?
According the tool, I can install only Creator 19.0.0.

Best regards,
Zvi

Why? You can install it through the Qt Maintenance Tool (Select 'Archive').
I would guess that's a path name problem - windows has the limitation to 255 chars here. Extract your Qt source to a shorter path and also please do an out-of source build
