Installing Compiler

L3v3nt

Hi All,

I install Qt 5.1.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2012) but even any example doesn't build because of no compiler.
To testing examples which compiler can I install and how can I setup QT5 for that compiler?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You must install VisualStudio 2012. Since you don't have a compiler installed, you could also use the MinGW package which includes the MingGW compiler.

Happy coding !

What do you mean by "I couldn't make the settings for compiling" ?

In qt creator go to Tools->Build & Run->Tool Chains click on Add and locate your compiler.

Which excel file I need to show compiler?
Sorry I'm very new in this :(

go to the C\MinGW\bin and select compiler gc++.exe Btw i m not using MinGW my setup is working with MSVC so I am not sure about this setting. I tried it long ago.

:O too newbie to find an exe in folder. I couldn't get your last question really sorry. I think you are struggling after clicking in Add?
So click on Add select MinGW now in lower section of the dialog there is a button Browse Compiler path click on it. Now go to your MinGW installation folder where in bin you will find g++.exe

If you have MSVC already installed then try to uninstall Qt Creator and reinstall again it may be automatically detect tool chains available on your system.
