Error while building/deploying project qgroundcontrol (kit: Desktop Qt 5.14.2 MSVC2017 64bit) When executing step "Make"

There are submodules to clone as well. You should check whether it was done.

@SGaist That is solve but now new error is coming
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'obj\QGCMapEngine.obj'

[SGaist]

I would start with nuking the build folder to properly start from scratch.

[Brito_btw]

I've also encountered this problem in Qt 5.15.2 MSVC2019 64bit and I can not find that your answers still work. Do u have any other possible solution? @SGaist

[SGaist]

@Brito_btw hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you give more information about what exactly is failing for you ?
With which project ?

[Brito_btw]

I'm trying to compile the QGroundcontrol project which I got from this link: https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol

I've updated the submodules and used WSL to do all the command but I just can't build the project.

Same error appers : LNK1104: cannot open file 'QGCMapEngine.obj'

Any ideas?

'QGCMapEngine.

The file is here. Check yours to see if it is available.
src/QtLocationPlugin/QGCMapEngine.cpp

if yes, some build flag is missing and go check cmake or pro file.

OK I fixed the LNK1104 issue but now i get the C2220 error one a single line

I've tried to rewrite this line (which was suggested on another thread) but it still happens this same thing.

@Brito_btw Hi.
Could you please show me how you fixed the LNK1104 error?
I have been struggling to do so for quite some time now. I couldn't solve it with the explanation from JoeCFD.

Hi friends. I need your help. I would be very happy if you could help me.
Qt 5.15.2 -- MSVC 2019-- Error 1104 pops up. Cannot find QGCMapEngine.obj file. I've read the solutions you wrote, but I don't know how to do it. I cannot find the QGCMapEngine.obj file inside the .pro file and inside the cmake files. thanks in advance
