QtCreator x64

[Dato0011]

Hello

Is Qt going to release QtCreator installer for Windows? That's a shame we still don't have one :(

if you mean that 64 bit version of QtCreator then i think it is not necessary becoz 32bit programs works well in 64bit windows.. and QtCreator is only the text editor, it doesnt have to be 64bit

Ok, so I'll ask how can I compile 64 binaries from qtcreator. As I know MinGw supports compilation of 64 windows executables. I need this because I have a dll that doesn't work on other platform than that it was compiled. Is there any way to compile x64 executables from qtcreator? I don't want to switch to VS for this.

just download and install the 64 bit qt sdk.

or compile qt from source using 64bit compiler and set the appropriate qt path in qtcreator.

Thanks for the reply

Actually I don't need 64 bit sdk, the dll file I'm talking about is not even using qt, just winapi. Is there anyway to tell qtcreator to use 64 bit version of MinGw instead of 32?

Thanks again

the problem is that QtCreator does not bother about which compiler you want to use. It just takes the path to the "qmake.exe". Its the qmake.exe which decides about the compiler. So if your qmake is pointing to a 64bit compiler then qtcreator will use that. (Infact QtCreator just calls "make" on the makefiles generated by qmake).
