QT needs a compiler set up to build

Operating system is ubuntu 12.04. I have downloaded and installed QT 5.0.2 (64bit linux). Then when I try to debug something, it says
:-1: error: Qt Creator needs a compiler set up to build
Configure a compiler in the kit options. I've already installed mingw but QT doesn't auto-detect it. (I don't know even if it is supposted ro do that).

Solution

  • A compiler can be installed on Ubuntu using a simple command:

    apt-get install build-essential
