difference between command line compile and qtcreator compile.

The modules that come with Qt don't have associated project files that I can find.

What do you mean by "modules"? The qtbase, widgets, and other directories in a Qt binary distribution? They may not, because they are binary distributions. If you've tried to configure a build from source, then the configuration script will possibly create them.

The "examples" directories do have .pro files, and when you open one in QtCreator you must configure the project to use whichever kits you want to use for compiling and building. I have kits installed for android, mingw, and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MSVC 2013. All of those a listed as possibilities when I open a project and go to the QtCreator Projects page and click on the Configure Project tab.

Thank you, d_stranz. I did not find them before so I will look again.
