    I've installed Creator and Qt 5.6 using the online installer tool, and I have downloaded the Qt sources and built the libraries for static linking.

    Could anyone tell me how I make the static libraries available to Creator, and how I configure my project to link with both them and the static MSVC run-time library?

    The explanations and guides I find all show how to build Qt, but never talk about how to use all of it with Creator.

    Thanks

      You'd add a new Qt Version in the Build and Run settings by selecting the qmake of your build, and create a new kit or modify an existing kit to use that Qt version.

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        It's explained in Qt Creator's manual here
