You can download precompiled versions of Qt Creator from or. A number of useful features were added in the version 4 series, so I highly recommend you use at least version 4.0.0. The latest version at the time of writing is 4.0.3, with a 4.1.0 version in beta. To begin, you need to have the Qt Creator IDE up and running on your desktop development system.

The steps would be similar for other boards, such as a BeagleBone Black. It is a popular and low-cost board that can be used for embedded applications. That was an excellent suggestion, so here they are.įor this example, I'll use the Raspberry Pi platform.
QT CREATOR OFFLINE INSTALLER HOW TO
In our recent Qt For Beginners webinar series (2) it was suggested we present detailed instructions showing how to configure Qt Creator for a common embedded board. It's free, well documented (1), and actively developed.Ĭonfiguring Qt Creator for embedded development is sometimes a stumbling block for our Qt training students and consulting customers. It provides good support for developing for embedded systems, including cross-compiling, deploying to a target system, debugging and profiling. I would very-much like to know where I might find such an expert who can give me a complete "horse's mouth" answer to my question.While it is not the only option, Qt Creator is the integrated development environment (IDE) of choice for Qt.

I don't know any more than this, sorry, so if you feel you need confirmation from a Qt expert please wait. I believe that I actually have a logon account (is that the same one which is required to be active/ask questions on this forum?) so that is not a problem. Okay, so it would appear that something fundamental has changed in the installation packages since I installed it last time that makes it difficult to fully complete an offline installation?įinally, I believe there have been recent changes at Qt Company which mean that downloads now require a logon account, which may make offline installing trickier. We recommend you use the Qt Online Installer for first time installations and the Qt Maintenance Tool for changes to a current install. I think you need to go to and pick the Qt for your platform. Many said in Offline not an expert on this, just trying to help you. I just want to make it work and understand how to configure it in future so that I don't require assistance. I don't care which compiler I use, whether it's minGW or MSVC - either/or. Microsoft Visual Studio Community (containing MSVC) I have seen this question arise often, but none of the example seem to pertain to my exact scenario. Is there a clear, concise, simple and easily-followed user guide on how make these two work together? If I installed mingGW first, and then the offline installer of Qt Creator, then why am I still getting "No valid kits found."? I then clicked on "Qt Creator" and the screen shot in the original post shows what I found, and the exact file that I downloaded. This is exactly where I went (as I noted in my original post.) If you want the MinGW version used to build Qt, then you have to use the Qt installer which will provide both Qt Creator and MinGW.Ī separate thread with another gentleman seemed to suggest that there was, and I could have sworn that the last time I tried, I stumbled across an offline installer that was exactly that, but cannot find it.Ĭan you please point me to this "Qt installer which will provide both Qt Creator and MinGW"?Īs for the offline installers they are available here. There's no "Qt Creator offline installer with MinGW".
