Configuring Qt Creator for our Target

Back when I started cross-compiling Qt for embedded QNX devices, Qt Creator was just starting to offer limited support for handing remote Targets. Fortunately for us, a lot of work was put into Qt Creator to make it very easy to implement cross-compilation, remote running, and remote debugging.

The following sections walk you through the process of setting up Qt Creator. These same basic steps can be applied for any supported Targets. The order of the steps is important, as some steps require the previous steps to have been completed first:
