Unable to specify target architecture as x64 [Windows][Visual Studio 2015 compiler]

[sanojsubran]

Hi,

I am trying to compile a project from command line using, qmake and jom and I am getting error during compilation. But the same project compiles successfully, when done from Qt Creator. I am running the same commands, which are being shown in the 'compile' window in Qt Creator, but still it fails. On analyzing the compilation logs, I can see that some of the flags for cl.exe are not coming, when I run from the command line. Any help or pointers, will be highly appreciated.

Error:

link /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /INCREMENTAL:NO /DLL /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFEST:embed /OUT:D:\all_files\work\projects\modelfactory.dll @C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Temp\modelfactory.dll.5148.7098.jom

Hi @sanojsubran,

libprotobuf.lib(generated_message_util.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'

Do you open a "Visual Studio Command Prompt"?

• If yes, then you have to choose the correct one for 32 or 64 bit.
• If no, then how do you specify the path to your compiler?

How do you call qmake from command line? It should look something like this:

pushd C:\
"C:/Qt/5.11.0/msvc2015_64/bin/qtenv2.bat"
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/vcvarsall.bat" amd64
popd
qmake
nmake

the amd64 argument to vcvarsall being the key here

@aha_1980 I was running from windows console. I was running vcvars32.bat file to set up the env variables.

@VRonin It worked. Thanks a lot. :)
