    Default Qt On Linux ( CentOS ) Not Picking Up 5.6.1

    Hello,

    I've installed Qt 5.6.1 on a copy of CentOS 7 and that went fine. The issue I'm having is that when I run Qt Creator, it's pointing to a version 4.8.5 ( assuming this was bundled with CentOS maybe ) and isn't seeing the 5.6.1. I validated that 5.6 exists and was installed. It seems there may be some sort of environmental issue here but I'm not skilled in Linux and unclear how to resolve. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    QtCreator can handle multiple Qts, you only need to configure them.

    See http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html for example.

    Thanks. I know it can handle multiples, and I've been into the kit configuration, but the 5.6.1 isn't showing up. Tried adding a new one manually but not sure in what folder I need to be looking for to link things to.

    When adding a new Qt version you need to select the qmake executable of that Qt version, which is in the "bin" subdirectory of your Qt installation.
    QtCreator can then call it and get all necessary information from its output.

    That is / was the issue. It wasn't showing up so I reinstalled and this time it showed in the list so something must have got missed in the first pass.
