Specifying Build Settings

Build Steps

The build system of Qt Creator is built on qmake and make. In Build Steps you can change the settings for qmake and make. Qt Creator runs the make command using the Qt version defined for the current build configuration.

Clean Steps

You can use the cleaning process to remove intermediate files. This process might help you to fix obscure issues during the process of building a project.

You can define the cleaning steps for your builds in the Clean Steps:

• To add a clean step using make or a custom process, click Add clean step and select the type of step you want to add.

  By default, custom steps are disabled. Activate custom steps by checking the Enable custom process step check-box.

• To remove a clean step, click Remove Item.
• To change the order of steps, click .
