To find out which version(s) of Qt are installed on your machine, open Qt Creator > Tools > Options... > Kits > Kits.
In the above example, 5 separate versions of Qt have been installed (Yes, a machine can have multiple versions of Qt installed side-by-side):
- A 32-bit version of Qt 5.12.0 for the MSVC 2017 compiler
- A 32-bit version of Qt 5.12.3 for the MSVC 2017 compiler
- A 64-bit version of Qt 5.12.3 for the MSVC 2017 compiler
- A 32-bit version of Qt 5.12.3 for the MinGW compiler
- A 32-bit version of Qt 5.9.7 for the MinGW compiler
To find out which version(s) of Qt are being used in your project, click the Kit Selector icon on the bottom-left of Qt Creator:
In the above example, Qt 5.12.3 MinGW (32-bit) is the active version. This means clicking "Build" will launch your MinGW compiler, and your program will link to Qt 5.12.3.
Notice that Qt 5.9.7 is also enabled for this project, but it is not active.
Finally... have a look at Qt Creator > Help > About Qt Creator...
Your IDE is Qt Creator 4.9.1. It was built using the MSVC 2017 compiler and linked to Qt 5.12.3. (This is completely unrelated to your own projects)
