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. SDCC is an optimizing C bare-metal compiler for various architectures.Currently supported architectures are 8051 and ARM. KEIL is a group of C and C++ bare-metal compilers from the various KEIL development environments.

Currently supported architectures are 8051, AVR, ARM, STM8, and MSP430.

IAREW is a group of C and C++ bare-metal compilers from the various IAR Embedded Workbench development environments.

In addition, the Qt Creator Bare Metal Device plugin provides support for the following compilers:

QCC is the interface for compiling C++ applications for QNX.

Nim is the Nim Compiler for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler) is a C++ compiler that is installed with Microsoft Visual Studio.

MinGW is distributed together with Qt Creator and Qt for Windows.

MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a native software port of GCC and GNU Binutils for use in the development of native Microsoft Windows applications on Windows.

Only the GCC-compatible variant, available for Linux and macOS, is currently supported by Qt Creator.

ICC (Intel C++ Compiler) is a group of C and C++ compilers.

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.
