我应该在Qt创建者中使用MinGW而不是微软编译器进行编译

Question

Currently my qmake command in QtCreator looks like this:

qmake.exe D:\programing\myproject\myproject.pro -r -spec win32-msvc2010 "CONFIG+=debug"

Now I do not like the win32-msvc2010 because Microsoft compiler sucks horribly doesn't support C++0x.

So what configuration do I change to use MinGW instead of Microsoft compiler when compiling desktop Windows application ?

I walked through the settings and googled but no hints...

Easiest thing to do would be to go here:

Link to Qt downloads page

Scroll down and select Qt 5.6.0 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.9.2, 1.0 GB) this will download the installer (its about 1 GB). Run it and choose all the default options. Then you will have Qt 5.6 with mingw and Qt Creator all setup ready to go. Note: Before you start that its probably best to delete your current version - if you are not attached to it in any way :)

If you want to change your current setup, then it might be longer-winded to find out what you are missing for mingw. For example you need the mingw qmake (and all the other stuff under the mingw_32 folder) file that would be located here (using default install options):

• C:\\Qt\\Qt5.5.1\\5.5\\mingw492_32\\bin\\qmake.exe

to create your "Qt Version" part of the kit. And the actual mingw compiler, which is located here (using default install options):

• C:\\Qt\\Qt5.5.1\\Tools\\mingw492_32\\bin\\g++.exe

to create your compiler. Once you have both of these then you can put them together to create your new kit.

But to just add a compiler all you need to do is:

• Click compilers tab
• Click add and select mingw
• A new compiler is added, click it
• You will see some options below, add your compiler executable path in (like the one above for example).
• And you are done - there are some other options, but you probably don't need to use them.

note my paths are for qt 5.5.1 (obviously) so slightly different to 5.6 :)
