\title Adding Compilers
|
|
|
|
Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can
|
|
usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or
|
|
a third party compiler. In \QC, a \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}{kit}
|
|
specifies the compiler and other necessary tools for building and running an
|
|
application on a particular platform.
|
|
|
|
\QC automatically detects the compilers that are registered by your system
|
|
or by an SDK. You can add compilers to build applications by using other
|
|
compilers or by using additional versions of the automatically detected
|
|
compilers:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
|
|
\li GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler for Linux and
|
|
Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
\li MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a native software port of GCC
|
|
and GNU Binutils for use in the development of native Microsoft
|
|
Windows applications on Windows. MinGW is
|
|
distributed together with \QC and Qt SDK for Windows.
|
|
|
|
\li Linux ICC (Intel C++ Compiler) is a group of C and C++ compilers
|
|
for Linux.
|
|
|
|
\li Clang is a C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ front-end for the
|
|
LLVM compiler for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
To build an application using GCC, MinGW, or Clang, specify the path
|
|
to the directory where the compiler is located and select
|
|
the application binary interface (ABI) version from the list of available
|
|
versions. You can also create a custom ABI definition.
|
|
|
|
You specify the compiler to use for each kit in \gui Tools >
|
|
\gui Options > \gui {Build & Run} > \gui Kits.
|
|
|
|
To add compilers:
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
\li Select \gui {Tools > Options > Build & Run > Compilers > Add} and
|
|
select a compiler in the list.
|
|
|
|
\image qtcreator-toolchains.png
|
|
|
|
To clone the selected compiler, select \gui {Clone}.
|
|
|
|
\li In the \gui Name column, double-click the name to change it.
|
|
|
|
\li In the \gui{Compiler path} field, enter the path to the directory
|
|
where the compiler is located.
|
|
|
|
The other settings to specify depend on the compiler.
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\section2 Troubleshooting MinGW Compilation Errors
|
|
|
|
If error messages displayed in the \gui {Compile Output} pane contain
|
|
paths where slashes are missing (for example, C:QtSDK),
|
|
check your PATH variable. At the command line, enter the following commands:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
where sh.exe
|
|
where make.exe
|
|
where mingw32-make.exe
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
If these commands show paths, they have been added to the global PATH
|
|
variable during the installation of a tool chain based on Cygwin or MinGW,
|
|
even though this is against Windows conventions.
|
|
|
|
To keep working with the third-party tool chain, create a new shell link
|
|
that adds the required paths (as Visual Studio and Qt do). The shell link
|
|
must point to cmd.exe, as illustrated by the following example:
|
|
|
|
\c {C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K C:\path_to\myenv.bat}
|
|
|
|
where the /K parameter carries out the command specified in the bat file.
|
|
|
|
Create the myenv.bat file at \e path_to, which should be in a convenient
|
|
location. In the file, specify the paths to the tool chains. For example,
|
|
|
|
\c {set PATH=C:\path1;C:\path2;%PATH%}
|
|
|
|
where \e path1 and \e path2 are paths to the tool chains.
|
|
|
|
Finally, remove the paths from the global PATH, reboot the computer, and
|
|
run the \c where commands again to verify that the global PATH is now clean.
|
|
|
|
You can use the shell link to run the tools in the third-party tool chains.
