It seems that when I add a Symbian Device as a target, Creator will only build it for armv5.  Does creator even know where epoc.exe is or is capable of launching the emulator?

1) You need to point Qt Creator to your Carbide.c++ installation (which contains the necessary tool chain). To do that, open Tools->Options->Qt->Versions, select the Qt Version and point "Carbide path" to the Carbide install.

2) Add a target "Symbian Emulator" to your project

Hope that helps,
