Setting up MSVC 2010 compiler in Qt Creator

[emazzochette]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up Qt Creator to build a GUI application and am getting build errors that I believe have something to do with my compiler not set up correctly. To test the build, I started a "QtDemo" project. I've done nothing to modify any of the default files created, just tried to build the file, in debug mode. The error messages I receive are below. Any insight into how to change my settings so that this builds. I'm suspicious that since the Kit doesn't have a debugger, that's my problem, but I don't know how to fix it. I've included all the details I can think of that would be helpful below. Thank you.

Project set up:
File>New File or Project>Applications>Qt GUI Application.
The Kit Selection is: Desktop Qt 5.1.9 MSVC2010 32 bit, but provides a warning that no debugger is set up. I'm not sure how to set this up.
The files to be added are:

main.cpp
mainwindow.cpp
mainwindow.h
mainwindow.ui
QtDemo.pro

The settings in Tools>Options>Build & Run:
Kits: Desktop Qt 5.1.0 MSVC2012 32 bit
Qt Versions: Qt 5.1.0 MSVC2010 32bit C:\Qt\Qt5.1.0\5.1.0\msvc2010\bin\qmake.exe
Compilers: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (x86) (other options are: amd64, or 0.9 (x86))
CMake: text box empty

I installed Visual Studio 2010 prior to installing Qt Creator.

I get the same errors when I try to build for release (as opposed to debug).
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

For the debugger you have to install the "Visual Studio debugging tools" (you can find them on Microsoft site), you might however encounter some problem while installing it (you can follow that "part":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#aea23489ce3aa9b6406ebb28e0cda430 of the Building Qt 5 from Git guide to resolve it.

For the cl missing part, try again after installing the debugging tools, If it still is a problem, you might be missing the path to your Visual Studio binaries in the PATH environment variable (which would be surprising but can happen)

Hope it helps

I tried to install the Windows Debugging Tools through the Windows 7 SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279) and I get an error in installation, even if I just try to install the debugger tools that come with it. Do you know how I would get the debugging tools if not through Windows 7 SDK? I got Visual Studio through DreamSpark.
I'm doing this from an admin account on my PC so I don't know why I'm getting install errors.

Thanks!

You are probably hit by "this":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Cannot_Install_Windows_SDK
