You can also create a custom ABI definition. To build an application using GCC, MinGW, Clang, or QCC, specify the path to the directory where the compiler is located and select the application binary interface (ABI) version from the list of available versions. To remove manually added compilers, select Remove or Remove All. Then select Re-detect to refresh the list of automatically detected compilers. If you plan to create also 32-bit x86 binaries without using a dedicated cross-compiler, select Auto-detection Settings > Detect x86_64 GCC compilers as x86_64 and x86. When Qt Creator finds an x86_64 GCC compiler, it sets up an instance for the native x86_64 target. The emscripten compiler is tool chain for compiling to WebAssembly. Currently supported architectures are 8051 and STM8.


GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is a compiler for Linux and macOS.clang-cl is an alternative command-line interface to Clang that is compatible with the Visual C++ compiler, cl.exe.Clang is a C, C++, Objective C, and Objective C++ front-end for the LLVM compiler for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

You can add the following compilers to build applications by using other compilers or by using additional versions of the automatically detected compilers: When using MacPorts, you also need to create symlinks, as instructed in How to enable ccache in the MacPorts wiki. Note: On macOS, the ccache C/C++ compiler cache is detected automatically only if you installed it using Homebrew or MacPorts.
