How to use MinGW-64 with Qt Creator

Question

I am aware that there are many post about this, but I honestly didn\'t understood any of it.

So, how do I install a kit for my Qt Creator (open source 5.7)?

Answer 1

Directly launching from explorer will also work, unless you need to use qtcreator's Autotools plugin in which case launching it from an msys2 shell is necessary (so that various environment variables are set correctly).
