How to change Qt Creator build tool?

Question

Is there anyway to change the build tool Qt Creator uses? Currently, Qt Creator has defaulted to the Qt5 version of qmake. I would like to use the Qt4 version of qmake, or the /usr/bin/make/ option. What are the steps needed to make this happen?

Answer 1

Go to Tools->Options->Build&Run

Then select Qt Versions tab. You can add qmake there by giving path manually

While building project you can select the respective toolchain as well. That can be done from left panel option project then select the configured toolchain.

Answer 2

Go to Project folder in the left sidebar (under the debug button). Then click 'Manage kits' and create a new kit including the Qt4 make path or change the qmake path of your current path for the qt4 one. The QMake is chosen under the tab QtVersions.
