Building Managing Qt Versions

# Configuring

Open a build shell (on Windows open an MSVC command prompt, on other platforms you can usually open the default shell):

    qbs setup-toolchains --detect

The tool chain detector automatically sets up a profile for each detected tool chain. You can list the existing profiles by running:

    qbs config --list profiles

Now you should be ready to build your first project with Qbs. Go into qbs/tests/manual/hello and type:

    qbs profile:<profile name>

If you want to build projects that use Qt, additional steps are necessary. Please refer to Managing Qt Versions for more information.
