Qt Creator – cross-platform, complete Integrated Development Environment

Qt Creator is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE).

The software allows developers to create applications across desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms.

It includes a visual debugger and an integrated GUI layout and forms designer. The editor’s features include syntax highlighting and autocompletion. Qt Creator uses the C++ compiler from the GNU Compiler Collection on Linux and FreeBSD. On Windows it can use MinGW or MSVC with the default install and can also use Microsoft Console Debugger when compiled from source code. Clang is also supported.

Qt Creator runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS desktop operating systems.

Features include:

  • Sophisticated code editor – code in C++, QML, JavaScript, Python and other languages. It features code completion, syntax highlighting, refactoring and has built-in documentation at your fingertips.
  • Version control – integrates with most popular version control systems, including Git, Subversion, Perforce, and Mercurial.
  • Integrated UI design – integrated visual editors for building C++ widget-based applications or fluid Qt Quick-based animated UIs with ready-made controls.
  • Project & Build management – import an existing project or create one from scratch – Qt Creator generates all the necessary files. Support for Cmake and cross-compiling with qmake is included.
  • Multiple targets – build for and run your software on desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems. The build settings allow you to easily switch between targets.
  • Qt Device Emulator – test and debug applications in conditions practically identical to those on your target device.
  • Qt Quick Compiler – compile source code into native machine code, accelerate start-up time and UI performance, and protect your source code and intellectual property.
