      Qt 5.11 (desktop or UWP build)

      MSVC 2017

    Description

      With Qt 5.11 qtquickcompiler was renamed to qmlcachegen.

      When I open a project with Qt 5.11, the "Enable Qt Quick Compiler" checkbox in Build Settings -> Build Steps -> qmake is disabled with the hint "This Qt Version does not contain Qt Quick Compiler".

      While that's technically true, I think Creator should not only check, if qtquickcompiler is present, but also qmlcachegen and use the proper tool if the checkbox is checked.
