      Hello and welcome to devnet,

      as the message says: you need a compiler. Since you are using the MinGW kit from Qt, you'll need the MinGW compiler.
      You can either find it on their homepage, or use the direct download link for the installer.

      After you have installed the compiler, Qt should (hopefully) detect it automatically. That means you are able to compile and run the Examples and your projects.

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        No need to go that far. You can install MinGW directly from the Qt SDK installer.
