Can't select qmake version in Qt Creator
Upon using Qt Creator the first time, you have to select Qt version (Tools->Options...->Build & Run->Qt Versions) by selecting a qmake executable (unless you're using Qt SDK where everything come pre-installed and already set up properly). I'm using Windows 7, and the first time I opened Qt Creator and selected the qmake.exe file that was located in the bin folder for Qt Library MinGW, it added the qmake file under "Manual" but it think it said something about that it couldn't create a toolchain for it, and the Qt version (the qmake file) was marked in red. I tried adding it a few more times by first removing the Qt version (the qmake file) and then adding it again, not knowing why it couldn't create the toolchain. Eventually, Qt Creator stopped adding the qmake file at all, and didn't say anything when I tried to open the qmake file. I tried running the "Build Debug Libraries" script that's located in the start menu folder for Qt Library MinGW, but I know this step isn't necessary when using Qt Library with Qt Creator and it didn't solve my problem; Qt Creator still wouldn't react when I was selecting the qmake executable. I also tried restarting the computer but that didn't help either. Then I uninstalled Qt Creator, removed the folder and reinstalled it again, but Qt Creator still wouldn't react when I selected the qmake executable.
So my question is, why does Qt Creator behave like this? How comes it has locked up completely and refuses to react when I select the qmake executable, and why wasn't it able to create the toolchain from the qmake executable (the file qmake.exe in the bin folder for Qt Library MinGW) back when it still hadn't locked up? And what should I do to solve both these problems?
