Setup qmake for Qt Creator on Mac

I installed the qt debug and release libraries and qt creator.

I can't make it build because of qmake. How can i make qt creator know of qmake?

I went to Preferences->Build&Run and click Add but I can't select anything, not even qmake after I find it.

I have qmake, I can run it from the command line but I can't make the QtCreator know about it.

Please help me, I feel like I'm gonna blow up.

Thanks

On qt creator 4.1.0, open the Build&Run Preferences.

Under Qt Version click "Add" and hit: Command + shift + G

and then type: /usr/local/bin (or whereever your qmake is: find qmake)

In order to see the new qt version in Kits you need to hit OK and re-open the Preferences window

I use Mac version 10.11.6 and it worked for me.

What I did was browse a file in /usr/bin (which is hidden in Mac OS X) which set the default folder that comes out in the file explorer to /usr/bin. Then I browsed for qmake which drove me in /usr/bin so i can select qmake. That's a workaround however.

I believe it's an ownership issue. Try chown on /usr/bin/qmake and re-try Adding to Qt Versions.
