Hi Pau, 

I have successfully built QTCreator with VS. But when QtCreator is running,
the only toolchain it works with is mingw. Given the modularity, I was
expecting that VS, and possibly XCode would be available as toolchains -
thus offering features like multi-CPU compiles, which I assume mingw does
not.
