Working with Qt Creator¶
Settings (MSYS2)¶

toMSYS Makefiles
Note
Change the environment variable to
MAKEFLAGS=-j4
(or similar) to enable parallel building on the kit level.
Setup Project¶
Load the project by opening a
CMakeLists.txt
file and configure it to use the new kit.Setup missing CMake flags (c.f. :ref:’CMake’)
Todo
The configuration is still “itchy”, as Qt creator changes the interface with every version
Settings (Linux)¶
