Qt creator version confusion

Question

If I go to the Qt creator Help > About Qt Creator option, it tells me that

Qt Creator 3.4.2 (opensource) Based on Qt 5.5.0 (GCC 4.9.1 20140922 (Red Hat 4.9.1-10), 64 bit) )

So is this Qt version of 5 or 3?

Answer 1

Actually what @Džanan said is not correct regarding your Qt version.

It means, the version of Qt Creator you have installed is version 3.4.2. The second part Based on Qt 5.5.0 states that that version of Qt Creator was build using Qt 5.5.0, using gcc on Red hat and the IDE is 64 bit.

To find out what version of Qt you are using to build your applications with you need to go to "Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Qt Versions".

Answer 2

Qt is an application framework an Qt Creator is and IDE . You have Qt version 5.5.0 and Qt Creator version 3.4.2 . So Qt version is 5 :).
