Qt Creator - how do I configure build steps for VC++

I have installed the Qt Creator.

I usually use qmake and nmake from a command prompt with Notepad++.

I want to use Qt Creator but I am stumbling on how to configure the build steps for using nmake.

Does anyone else use Qt Creator and the MS VC++ compiler?

Any information on this would be much appreciated.

P.S. - I do not care much about the debugger at the moment.

~Cheers,

Yes, i`m using QtCreator with VC++ 2008 Express but i don`t remember doing anything special to configure it. I think it uses the QMAKESPEC variable in the Enviroment Variables (win32-msvc2008) to know how to build the project (with nmake in particular). I can`t find an option to configure what command to use for compiling.

So QtCreator does qmake and nmake steps properly right out of the box?

My qmake works fine but nmake is having problems.

Code:

I had this same exact problem but I thought it was because I needed a full version of VC++ (not VC++ 2008 Express).
