Use C++11 in Qt Creator

Question

I'm using Qt Creator on Ubuntu, and I'd like to use the new C++11 features, however they are not enabled by default.

How can I configure Qt Creator to support the new C++11 features?

if you use CMake, then QtCreator can simply get the C++11 options from the generated Makefile. — TemplateRex, Jul 07 '13 at 14:12

You can achieve this by adding:

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11

to your .pro file.

My Qt Creator is already 2.7.0 on my computer, but it didn't support C++11 until I added `QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11`. – sashoalm Jul 07 '13 at 09:50
@sashoalm interesting, I will update my answer then. – Floris Velleman Jul 07 '13 at 09:51
you coud use "CONFIG += c++11" in .pro file too – iraj jelodari Apr 26 '15 at 22:06
