Kit setup ignorance
-
Hello,
I am new to QT Creator. I am using Windows 7, and do not have Visual Studio installed.
I have installed the QT product, and it seems to have default Compiler and Kit already setup.
Installation Title
http://prntscr.com/1pc00cQT version
<img src='http://prntscr.com/1pc0js' />However, I am unable to build a HelloWorld app and QT states an error requiring me to setup a Kit:
http://prntscr.com/1pbzt8For the life of me, I do not understand what more the Kit setup screen requires of me, and what I need to do to remedy the situation.
Here are a few more screen shots of my default Compiler and Kit setup screens:
Compiler(s) - Default install
http://prntscr.com/1pbzx3Kit - Kits installed
http://prntscr.com/1pc04iKit - Default kit's settings
http://prntscr.com/1pc097I apologize in advance for posting a question I see others have posted, but I have spent a couple of days reading and following directions with no luck.
Thank you in advance >SO MUCH< for helping me get my cart out of the rut.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
QtCreator's about box doesn't give you the installed Qt but the Qt used to build QtCreator.
Are you using the Desktop MinGW kit ? It's the only one you can use since you have no Visual Studio Installed (you can remove all the Visual Studio kits by the way)

Re: "Are you using the Desktop MinGW kit ?"
To me it looks like Desktop MinGW is installed, and is set as the default kit, but I haven't chosen to 'use' this of my own accord. It was there when I installed - it doesn't work as it stands - what do I need to do to build?
What do I need to change? What am I missing? It's just a Hello World app with a button and an event.
Re: "you can remove all the Visual Studio kits by the way"
No, I can't. The Remove button remains disabled for Auto-detected kits. -
In that case, you should rather uninstall everything, start from fresh and only install the MinGW sdk.

There might be a bug in the online installer.
If you are only interested in MinGW, you can also use the dedicated installer.
