can't run QT6 in visual studio 2022

@Christian-Ehrlicher said in can't run QT6 in visual studio 2022:

@HerrWinfried This is the C++ standard you use. This does not answer @artwaw's question if you properly installed the WindowsSDK. The error you're showing us does not come from Qt but from a missing header file provided by MSVC / WindowsSDK - there is nothing Qt can do against this.

Thanks for the info, I'll upload it again and have a look.
The strange thing is that I can compile via QT Creator. however, an exclamation point appears next to it on the build screen.

Qt6 requires c++17. Try the following:
To set this for a project:

Right click a project, go to Properties

Select Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Language

For C++ Language Standard select "ISO C++17 Standard (/std:c++17)"

I mentioned it in the image above, it's already set like that. Thanks anyway.

@HerrWinfried It might have been added to your project.
Check your pro file and you may find
CONFIG += c++17

if you use cmake, it may have included
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

But I am surprised that vs 2022 does not have c++17 as default

If you put cursor over it: what does it say?

Perhaps, but you select an x86 debugger for a amd64 compiler. I don't thing this is valid configuration.

My result did not change when I did x64

@HerrWinfried I guess Qt does not yet support C++ compiler from Visual Studio 2022.
You can ask Qt devs on their mailing list.

Sounds like something that won't fix my problem in visual studio 2022. Thanks again for the information.

@HerrWinfried According to https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-vs-tools-for-visual-studio-2022 it should work, but I'm not sure about Qt itself.

HerrWinfried

That's the point that confuses me, but anyway, I prefer to wait a few weeks for now.

@HerrWinfried
The problem is that VS2022 doesn't return by default the right value for

__cplusplus

No idea if that's a bug or a feature in VS2022. However, here the solution how to overcome this issue:
