QtCreator No valid kits found

Question

Installed just the IDE on Windows 7   I want to create a Plain C   Project  Non-QT Project   however I get an error  No valid kits found   When I click on Options- Kits  I see the Desktop  default  kit  and it shows no errors     Am I getting the error because I didn t install a Qt library   If so  is there any way I can bypass downloading installing that and just use the IDE

Found the issue   Qt Creator wants you to use a compiler listed under one of their Qt libraries  Use the Maintenance Tool to install this   To do so      Go to Tools -  Options     Select Build  amp  Run on left  Open Kits tab    You should have Manual -  Desktop  default  line in list  Choose it    Now select something like Qt 5 5 1 in PATH  qt5  in Qt version   combobox and click Apply button  From now you should be able to   create  build and run empty Qt project

I had a similar problems after installing Qt in Windows  This could be because only the Qt creator was installed and not any of the Qt libraries during initial installation  When installing from scratch use the online installer and select the following to install   For starting  select at least one version of Qt libs  ex Qt 5 15 1  and the c   compiler of choice  ex MinGW 8 1 0 64-bit    Select Developer and Designer Tools  I kept the selected defaults    Note  The choice of the Qt libs and Tools can also be changed post initial installation using MaintenanceTool exe under Qt installation dir C  Qt  See here

Another way to solve this issue  I did it on Ubuntu 16 04 but it might also work for windows and other Ubuntu versions    While going through the installation steps  when you reach the step where you choose which packages to install via check boxes  instead of just pressing next with the default  Tools  checkbox selected also check the box for the version of QT you would like in addition to the  Tools  box  I usually check the first box which is the latest version of QT   After doing this you should not see the  no valid kits found  issue described in this thread   Happy Coding

No valid Kits found The problem occurs because qt-creator don t know the versions of your qt  your compiler or your debugger  First off  let s solve the Qt versions  It may normally solve the others too     You try to create a new project  run select a kit and then there is no kit available in the list  Follow the steps   Execute in your terminal the command  sudo apt-get install qt5-default to install qt version 5  Verify the version of your Qt and the location of your qmake file  Do this by executing in your terminal the command qmake --version  You may have a result similar to this line  QMake version 3 1 Using Qt version 5 9 5 in  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu  What s important here is the location  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu  Open your Qt-creator  Go to  quot Tools gt Options quot  or  quot Outils gt Options quot  Select the Qt Versions combobox and select and click  quot Add quot  or  quot Ajouter quot  Then find the qmake file in the location of step 2  Here  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu qt5 bin  here you have the qmake file for qt5  Open it  click Apply  Go to  quot Kits quot  combobox  Select Desktop by default  or Desktop par d  faut   Then scroll down to the button to select Qt version  and list down to select the version you just add  8 Then apply all  Check your compiler and debugger and it s ok  You re done   Yes I     Hope it s help

For QT 5   if you face error at Kits  like No Valid Kits Found  go to Options- Build amp Run-   Kits tab  then you see a Manual category which should list Desktop as the default    Just go to your OS Terminal and write sudo apt-get install qt5-default  go back to QT Creator and Start your New Project  and there you see the kit option Desktop included in the list

Though OP is asking about Windows  this error also occurs on Ubuntu Linux and Google lists this result first when you search for the error QtCreator  No valid kits found      On Ubuntu this is solved by running   For Qt5   sudo apt-get install qt5-default   For Qt4   sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui   This question is answered here and here  though those entries are less SEO-friendly

In my case the issue was that my default kit s Qt version was None   Go to Tools - gt  Options    - gt  Build  amp  Run - gt  Kits tab  click on the kit you want to make as default and you ll see a list of fields beneath  one of which is Qt version  If it s None  change it to one of the versions available to you in the Qt versions tab which is just next to the Kits tab
