difference between command line compile and qtcreator compile.

You can see that in the Project settings (Project button on the left hand side in QtCreator).

A project can actually be configured for multiple kits and the active target chosen in the switcher above the "run" button.

The modules that come with Qt don't have associated project files that I can find. Am I missing something here?
I only have (one) project file and that is for the simple test that I put in.

Assuming you used the Qt Online binary installer then you select Qt libraries (in the installer GUI) to install based on the bit-ness and compiler involved. There a quite a few combinations.
http://doc.qt.io/QtSupportedPlatforms/index.html

You can also download the library bundles individually, each labelled with the environment they are for. In Windows there are many different options. All Linux builds are with GCC and OS X uses LLVM/Clang (i think)

If you build the Qt libraries from source then you know what toolchains you used.

Debian Jessie both on desktop and RPi2.
Tried compiling from source on the RPi2 already and after 2 1/2 weeks of effort things were still missing. Debian repository actually has the solution with the most parts (but still not complete due to graphics engine not finished.)

Debian Jessie for the desktop is almost complete in their repositories EXCEPT for the qmake for cross compile version for armv7hf -- that is what I'm trying to find now. Can't find source code to compile either. Which is why I asked in here.

Debian Jessie is Linux version.

What do you mean by "modules"? The qtbase, widgets, and other directories in a Qt binary distribution? They may not, because they are binary distributions. If you've tried to configure a build from source, then the configuration script will possibly create them.

The "examples" directories do have .pro files, and when you open one in QtCreator you must configure the project to use whichever kits you want to use for compiling and building. I have kits installed for android, mingw, and both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MSVC 2013. All of those a listed as possibilities when I open a project and go to the QtCreator Projects page and click on the Configure Project tab.

Thank you, d_stranz. I did not find them before so I will look again.
