@Qt-Enthusiast: Please see http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/README.md (this file is also contained in the source tree) and maybe also https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_Creator_from_Git

To navigate through the code it's best to open qtcreator.pro in QtCreator :) (At least that's how I do it).

Why are you trying to use the WinRT version of Qt ?

Did you also install Visual Studio 2015 ?

Qt Enthusiast

Yes I have Visuali Studio 2107

SGaist

You didn't answer to my first question.

Why not use the VS2017 package since you installed Visual Studio 2017 ?
