[Qt-creator] Remote compile / build support

[Liebe Markus (RtP2/TEF72)]

Hi,

Is there any kind of remote build support in qt creator?

In our development department we a have a central host which is used to compile our projects.
Each developer has a workstation and a checked out working directory.
The working directory resides in a network directory which is available on the build host as well.
Our current IDE is able to configure several build hosts. So upon compilation the IDE connects to the build host and builds the project there. The build output is available in the IDE, is clickable etc.
The workstation can either be a windows or linux machine. The host is a linux machine with the necessary libs and build environment installed.

Our goal is to achieve something similar using QtCreator:
- We want to be able to configure several build hosts.
- When we start building, we want not to build local but to connect to one of the configured build hosts and run qmake/make etc. there.

Do you know of any way how to achieve this with the current QtCreator?
Are there any plans to implement a feature like this?
What would be the best way to integrate a feature like this by ourselfs? Would that be via separete build steps or a overridden make command? Or should it rather be a plugin or something?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
