QT5.11.1 building failed via build tools v142 in Visual Studio 2019

In qevent.h or qevent.cpp, no using Q_OBJECT, and why there is a reference to MetaObject? confusing...?

Why Qt 5.11? It’s been out of support for a while.
E.g Qt 5.15 doesn’t support Windows 11.
I have no idea about 5.11, but probably your windows version and/or compiler isn’t supported.
Better use Qt 6. -

Because this guy said "I just delete Qt 5.5 and installed Qt 5.11.1 and downloaded WebKit package.
and added to correct path, building is succeeded!", And I have an app which was building on QT5.5.1 https://github.com/shadowsocks/libQtShadowsocks.git -
That was 6 years ago!

after applied this patch https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/0ef66e98ccf4946a0e4513ab5fc157df0f0aca4e and deleted qtquick1 submodule, QT5.11.1 built success. Thanks.
