[solved] installing multiple kits on windows

dsula

Hi,

I need some help installing multiple kits on a qt-creator windows installation.

I successfully installed the Windows x64 version of QT and got everything working using the Microsoft compilers. I now would like to add the 32-bit kit to the installation. How do I do that?

I currently have a single version installed
/Qt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/msvc2013_64_opengl

I assume that the 32-bit version would need to be added as
/Qt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/msvc2013_opengl

If I try to install the complete Qt for 32-bit windows package I cannot install it into the same directory as the already existing installation, essentially leaving me with 2 completelt independent qt-creator installations. I'm sure that's not the desired solution.
If I then manually copy the msvc2013_opengl kit into the /Qt/Qt5.3.1/5.3/ directory and manually add the kit to the qt-creator configuration I still get makefiles that are generated with old path information.

I guess the question is, how can I install additional build kits to a Windows qt installation such that the kits is properly registered and auto-detected by qt?

Thank you

Hi and welcome to devnet,

The simple way to do that is to use the Online Installer. There you can select several version of Qt to install
