Hi Denis,

Setting up custom toolchains is quite easy. All you need to do is run qbs-config <property> <value>, for example:

$ qbs-config profiles.KEIL_C51.cpp.toolchainInstallPath C:/Keil
$ qbs-config profiles.KEIL_C51.cpp.windowsSDKPath C:/WinSDK
$ qbs-config profiles.KEIL_C51.qbs.architecture c51
$ qbs-config profiles.KEIL_C51.qbs.targetOS none
$ qbs-config profiles.KEIL_C51.qbs.toolchain keil

If you don't want to use Qt, simply don't add any Qt properties to your profile. I believe this answers both your questions.
