\title Adding Qt Versions
\QC allows you to have multiple versions of Qt installed on your development
PC and use different versions to build your projects. For example,
\l{glossary-device}{device} manufacturers provide special Qt versions for
developing applications for their devices.
\QC automatically detects the Qt versions that are registered by
your system or by installers. To view detailed information for each Qt
version, select it in the list and select \uicontrol Details in the
\uicontrol {Qt version for} section. To add Qt versions, select
\uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Kits >
\uicontrol {Qt Versions}.
You specify the Qt version to use for each \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}
{kit} for building and running your projects
in \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Kits.
\section1 Setting Up New Qt Versions
To add a Qt version:
\list 1
\li Select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Kits >
\uicontrol {Qt Versions} > \uicontrol Add.
\li Select the qmake executable for the Qt version that you want to
add.
\li Select the Qt version to view and edit it.

\li In the \uicontrol{Version name} field, edit the name that \QC
suggests for the Qt version.
\li In the \uicontrol{qmake location} field, you can change the qmake
location.
\li If the Qt version is for QNX, enter the path to your installed QNX SDK in the
\uicontrol{QNX SDK} field.
\endlist
\section1 Troubleshooting Qt Installations
If \QC detects problems in the installation of a Qt version, it displays
warnings and errors beside the name of the Qt version in the list. Select
the Qt version to see more information about the issue and suggestions for
fixing it.
To determine whether a particular Qt version is installed correctly, \QC
calls \c {qmake -query} and checks that the directories referenced in the
output exist. When \QC complains about the installation of a self-built Qt
version, try running \c {make install} in the build directory to actually
install Qt into the configured location. If you installed Qt using the Qt
installer, run the Qt maintenance tool to check for updates or to reinstall
the Qt version.
\section1 Minimum Requirements
If your build of Qt is incomplete but you still want to use QMake as build
system, you need to ensure the following minimum requirements to be able to use that setup with \QC.
\list 1
\li qmake is an executable that understands the -query command line argument.
\li The bin and include directories have to exist. \QC fetches these directories by running \c{qmake -query}.
\li The mkspecs directory should be complete enough to parse .pro files.
\endlist
If your Qt version has no libQtCore.so, \QC is unable to detect the ABI.
