windeployqt insisting executable is debug

[MrShawn]

Hello all,

Trying to deploy my program for windows 10. Used CMake, Qt version is 5.12.11 and I am using MinGW 7.3 64 bit compiler.

I built the release version of my program and run windeployqt as I always do. It is deploying debug dlls instead of release dlls and the program will not launch. Says its missing dependencies (obviously the debug libs were deployed).

Any tips on a solution?

Thank you.

@MrShawn from windeployqt help (/?): --release Assume release binaries.

I was able to do that as a workaround but in all my uses of windeploy qt i have never had to use that argument.
