[SOLVED] Setting up Visual Studio compiler with qt

[danieldil]

I am trying to set up the MSVC compiler. It was installed with QT. I went to
options->build&run->kits and it has no debugger specified. Where is the debugger file from microsoft visual studio so I can assign it as the debugger for this. I looked in the files and couldn't find it. I connected it with the MINGW debugger and when i run that it says

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
jom: C:\Users\Daniel\Documents\build-untitled3-Desktop_Qt_5_4_2_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\Makefile.Debug [debug\main.obj] Error 1
jom: C:\Users\Daniel\Documents\build-untitled3-Desktop_Qt_5_4_2_MSVC2013_32bit-Debug\Makefile [debug] Error 2
01:31:05: The process "C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe" exited with code 2.
Error while building/deploying project untitled3 (kit: Desktop Qt 5.4.2 MSVC2013 32bit)
When executing step "Make"

Can anyone help?

Hi @danieldil ,

Download and install the WinDbg package from Microsoft from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852365.aspx

You can either install "WDK 8.1" or "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows "

I do not really know why these tools are not an optional install step along with the Visual Studio (express) tools, perhaps I am missing something.

Hi,

Did you install Visual Studio 2013 prior to installing Qt ?
