QtCreator + Qbs + IAR

I have a project on old IAR version and basically I want to use QtCreator for editing and building the project. IAR have a custom compiler and linker. It's CR16 platform, so my case is really unusual. How to archive this goal?

I tried already qbs and it's not working for me. As I understood it works with gcc compiler only and I don't know how to configure it. I also configured a compiler https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxgcZhMUJY8_NHh1SlduZENkTFk/view and made a kit https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxgcZhMUJY8_dFp3dFlRSnJnMm8/view

On this point I don't need debugger support, only building, support of build configuration there I can include or exclude files from build, and see an errors from build.

I tried to import generic project but it's not what I need, it just a code editor with some strange syntax errors (I have no such errors in IAR). So I thought I need qbs or cmake project and import everything in it.

I read info by this link http://habrahabr.ru/post/258467/ and possibly all information about Qt baremetal + gcc compiler. But I didn't find anything about how to use non-gcc compiler and how you need to configure Qt for it.

Right now (since Qbs 1.15, AFAIK), it is possible to use the IAR toolchain in QBS. Also it is supported in QtCreator and VSCode IDEs.

You can make a Rule {} to compile IAR.

https://doc.qt.io/qbs/rule-item.html

Here's another example from my Cavewhere project. I have protobuffer files that need to be compiled into cpp and h files. The Depends { name: "cpp" }picks artifacts from protobuffer rules and compiles them into object artifacts.

You can do the same thing with IAR. You just have to tag the files properly with Group { fileTags: "iarFiles" } and then write a Rule { } that takes iarFiles as an input.
