QtCreator on Windows: qmake does not exist or is not executable


  • Hello

    I'm trying to follow the "Getting Started" guide, and ran into a problem. Let me explain the steps I took, and perhaps some of you might see what I've done wrong;

    My system is Win7 64bit

    1. I downloaded and installed Qt 5.1.0 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, OpenGL, 522 MB) from here: http://qt-project.org/downloads
    2. I started up Qt-creator. I get no error messages or warnings.
    3. I started with this guide: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/gettingstartedqt.html
      problem: I cannot select "Application" from templates. The only options I have are "Other projects", "Non-qt projects" and "Import projects". After some googling I found out I should go to tools->Options->Build & Run to check that qt-creator is pointing at qmake. There I run into the following problem: QtCreator finds qmake in the correct install dir, but sais "qmake does not exist or is not executable". I try running qmake directly from that dir and it definetly works. I have attached a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

    Thank you for your patience (I am really new to this)!

    Place the mouse cursor above the stop sign with the question mark. You get some more explanatio IIRC.

    Do you msvc2012 with 64 bit compiler installed?
