MSVC can't find qtpcre2d.lib?
-
Setting up a new dev machine, copied working msvc solution/projects files that link statically with qt. Build Qt from sources using exact same configure command and output paths that I used on previous computer. But on new machine, I'm getting error at link time:
4>qtvars_plugin_import.cpp 5>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'qtpcre2d.lib'I've verified that the lib file is the Qt lib folder. Output of qmake.exe -query command - the one I compiled:

This is a commercial version, please ask the Qt support for help.
did you really copy the debug Qt libs? -
Yes, I use -debug-and-release flag in configure command so both versions are generated and in lib folder. I'll try Qt support but, in the past, I've found them to be quite slow & unhelpful. Better to just ask here and get answers.
After posting this, I rebuild Qt from sources - thinking something got messed up during qt build, and also downgraded Qt VS Tool extension but still getting same error.
