QtCreator for windows: is it possible to build 64 bit .exe?
qt-creator
Solution
I do not see any reason why not. You would need:
- To be working on a 64-bit processor,
- Ensure you have the Visual Studio 64 bit edition
- Compile Qt on that 64 Bit setup
- Compile QtCreator on that setup
The email says that debugging tools would also need to be compiled. I am not sure which debugger QtCreator uses but I would image it would be open source and you could compile it on that setup anyway.
Qt probably do not do it by default because they already produce loads of different builds for all the platforms they support and there has not yet been a large demand for 64bit windows desktop applications.
Problem
Is it any way in QtCreator for windows to build a 64-bit executable? (I need to use a COM object as INPROC and this object is only available for 64 bit architecture)
