Qbs does not pick Clang in the tool chain configuration

I have installed LLVM 5.0 on Windows 10 x64. When I call clang++ --version from cmd the message below is displayed.

clang version 5.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_500/final)
Target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: C:\LLVM\bin

But when I call qbs setup-toolchains --detect in the resulting list neither clang nor clang++ is in. If I call qbs config --list profiles both clang and clang++ are not in the list. Am I missing something?

Solution

  • On Windows, the --detect option only looks for MSVC and mingw installations. Use the explicit mode instead:

    qbs setup-toolchains C:\LLVM\bin\clang.exe clang
