"Non-aggregates cannot be initialized with initializer list."

I'm currently using the QT creator IDE to try and learn C++. When I run the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     vector <int> theVector = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
     cout << theVector[0];

}

When I run this I get the error from the post title. I have tried adding 'CONFIG += c++11' & 'CONFIG += c++14' to my .pro file to no avail.

Here are some relevant screenshots:

I'm using the non-QT C++ console application project type. I'm using the qmake build system. The build kits are: Desktop QT 5.4.2 MSVC2012 OpenGL 32-bit and Desktop QT 5.5.1 MSVC2012 32 bit. Any help is appreciated.

Did you rerun qmake after adding CONFIG += c++11 and before rebuild ?

[jbcpp]

@jsulm Yes.

Maybe MSVC2012 does not support this?
Here on Ubuntu with GCC 4.8.4 it is working.

@jsulm I think that's right. I need a new compiler like mingw or something perhaps.

You can use the VS2015 Community edition + Qt 5.6

Hi, also you can use VS2013 Community edition + Qt 5.5.x

@jsulm Do I just need to download VS2015 community edition for this to work?

@jbcpp You need VS2015 and Qt 5.6 for VS2015. After installing VS2015 just use the online installer for Qt to install Qt.
