<![CDATA[What compiler is used in QT?]]>Hi,

I am new to Qt. I have Xcode 7.2 in Apple OS X 10.11.2 and would like to use Xcode as the compiler when creating QT projects. Is this possible? How?

Thanks,
Juan Dent

If you use Qt framework, using QtCreator is easier as it comes already with the integrated Qt documentation, code completion, tools (qt linguist for localising, RAD..).

On OS X, Xcode is used. Not necessarily the IDE itself (you can use Qt Creator) but the compiler comes from Xcode.
