How do I add MinGW in the Qt Options of Visual Studio Tools? (Visual Studio 2019)

Hi,
I would like to use MinGW (32-64) which are both installed on my computer. When I try adding this installation with the Windows Host option selected I get the following:
What is the right configuration to add MinGW and run it on windows?
Thank you in advance

You can't use MinGW with MSVC IDE. You need Qt compiled for MSVC or compile with QtCreator.

To be fair you could probably rig this up with CMake (never tried myself). VS has a pretty good support for it so one could use it as an IDE.
@nickph That's not a scenario Visual Studio Tools can help you with though. It's only for MSVC and MSBuild so as @Christian-Ehrlicher said you need a MSVC version of Qt for that.
