Cant find option to create NEW GUI APPLICATION

San_TCE

I am a second year engineering student from INDIA. I am a new user to the QT Creator. I thought of developing a new software using QT Creator. But when i installed and opened it i could not find an option to CREATE NEW GUI APPLICATION under NEW FILE/PROJECT menu. I have attached the picture of the window what i get. I am using QT Creator 2.7.1. Please help me as this is my first attempt to create a new software !!

Hi,

how are you installed Creator??
Are you installed the IDE only or the whole Qt packet??

San_TCE

Thanks a lot for your response.
I installed the Creator as QT Packet only :-)

Ok,

go "here":http://qt-project.org/downloads, download packet that fit your needs and install it

I use windows 7 64 bit and the memory of the file to be downloaded shows 525 MB and i doubt whether that much is essential !!

Yah i got it through the link you sent. Thanks a lot !! :-)
But as i started working in it, it showed me the error message
:-1: error: Qt Creator needs a compiler set up to build. Configure a compiler in the kit options.
What should i do ?

Hi,

What package did you download ? If it's a msvc one, you need to have the corresponding Visual Studio installed. Then the available compilers should be detected.

If you don't want to install Visual Studio, you can download one of the mingw packages.

Hope it helps
