How to get Qt-Creator to build using cygwin make?

Does anyo开发者_如何学编程ne know how to configure Qt-Creator to use cygwin's make to build a project? Maybe this is a simple cygwin-mangled Windows path problem, but I can't get Qt-Creator to find/run cygwin's make. My make lives in /usr/bin, which is actually c:\cygwin\c\usr\bin on my system. Either way, Qt can't seem to find it using all the obvious build settings I can think of.

Thanks---

[This answer works for me using Qt Creator 2.0.93 (beta 2.1), YMMV]

I spent some time tracking down a similar problem: using a non-mingw, non-"supported" build chain from Qt. It appears that Qt Creator uses different environments for build steps based on whether or not you are using a "Make" or "Custom" build step (see the Projects view). The only way I was able to control the actual make invoked and, more importantly, the path where it was run from was to change from using "make" build steps to a "custom" build step. Once I did that, the settings of the PATH environment variable (under build environment) were honored and the right make was chosen.

In other words, try doing these steps:

1. Set the path in your build environment for you project to include your cygwin stuff.
2. Create a "custom" build step that calls Cygwin's make with the appropriate options (copied from the old "make" build step).
3. Delete the old "make" build step.

i'm running qtcreator 3.2.1 on windows 8.1.

just enter tools-> option-> build&run-> kits ->add

set sysroot to cygwin folder (e,g: C:\cygwin64) and compiler type to mingw .

(if and when i set gdb to work with that i'll update)
