      I'm trying to set up Qt Creator to compile remotely. I don't even know if this is possible: the UI suggests it is but I don't see how.

      I've added a Kit with "Build device" "Remote Linux":

      The "Compiler" list is greyed out. Clicking "Manage" brings me to the "Compilers" tab, which offers no hint on what I should do to configure a remote compiler. Typing a path like the Devices tab doesn't work either:

      If this is supported, it needs some UX guidance to make it happen. Ideally, one would detect the compilers in the Devices tab and offer them here, or add the compilers to the Auto-Detected list if one is connected to the Remote Linux device. If this isn't supported, then the UX needs not to suggest it is.
