How to use Intel compiler in Qt Creator on Windows machines?
-
I do not see how to add Intel Compiler to work with it in Qt Creator on Windows! No way?
As I know Intel compiler was designed to be totally compatible with Visual C (but better). So there should be nothing against using it as simple replacement of Visual C for good.
And yes, I understand that Qt libs need to be build with Intel Compiler ... but as soon as I do not see the way Intel Compiler can be added to Qt Creator there is no sense to build Qt libs.
And again ... UNDER WINDOWS!

HI and welcome to devnet,
I haven't tried it yet but you probably need to change the mkspec to use win32-icc
Hope it helps

Thanks for response!I do not see the connection with the question. It was about Qt Creator ... not about building Qt libs.
Without ability to add new compiler in Qt Creator I see no way to use Qt libs which were build with this new compiler.
So is this a real Qt Creator inability to use VisualC-like compiler or I missed something?

Have you looked at adding custom compilers?

Yep ... but I am not sure how to use it.
Here I see ability to set folders for h-files. But what about folders for lib-files and exe-tools???
Very strange interface ! -
I don't know ICC that well but I assume that, like other compilers, it uses environment variables for such purposes?
If so then after adding a compiler you need to add the Qt you compiled with ICC and create a kit.
When creating a kit you can specify environment variables so I guess you can set stuff like LIBRARY_PATH there. For the accurate names of the variables consult ICC documentation. I don't know it.
