Action items to create, clone, or delete build configurations can be found
at the bottom of the dialog. You can have as many build configurations as
needed. By default Qt Creator creates a \bold{debug} and \bold{release}
build configuration. Both these configurations use the
\l{glossary-default-qt}{Default Qt Version}.
The project pane is divided into two areas. At the top the currently active
settings are shown. The active build or run configuration for all projects
can be changed there. The bottom area allows you to quickly get an overview
of the build, run and editor settings as well as the dependencies between your
projects. It also allows you to edit those settings.
In the tree on the left, a list of build configurations and their settings
are displayed. The screenshot above shows the \bold{debug} and
\bold{release} configurations and their corresponding settings:
\bold{Build Environment} and \bold{Build Steps}.
\section1 Build Settings
When you select a build configuration in the tree, a configuration page for
general build settings will be displayed. Here you can specify which
\l{glossary-project-qt}{Qt version} to use to build your project, whether

settings for \c qmake and \c make can be changed. Qt Creator will run the
make command using the correct Qt version.
In the \bold{Build Environment} section you can specify the environment used
for building. By default the environment in which Qt Creator was started
is used and modified to include the Qt version. Depending on the selected
Qt version, Qt Creator will automatically set the necessary environment
variables.

\section1 Run Settings
The build system of Qt Creator is built on top of \c qmake and \c make. The
settings for \c qmake and \c make can be changed in the
\bold{Build Settings} page. Qt Creator will run the make command using the
correct Qt version.

Qt Creator automatically creates run configurations for your project.
These run configurations derive their executable
from the parsed .pro files. You can also create \bold{custom executable}
run configurations where you can freely set the executable to be run.
\section1 Dependencies
If you have multiple projects loaded in your session, you can configure
dependencies between them. This will affect the build order of your
projects. To do this, go the the \bold{Dependencies} tab after selecting
projects. To do this, go the the \bold{Dependencies} section after selecting
the project for which you want to configure the dependencies, and then use
the checkboxes to check which of the other projects is a dependency.
\note This is unrelated to the dependencies inside a qmake project.
