How to configure Qt 5.13 with VS2019 Compiler

[Sailanarmo]

I was having issues with CMake not detecting my VS2017 Compiler. That is a whole different topic. I solved my issues by installing Visual Studio 2019 and all my CMake issues went away. However, now I am trying to configure my Qt projects with the Visual Studio 2019 compiler and I am finding that I have configuration issues.

I manually added the kits for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the 2019 compiler. However, I could not find a compatible Qt version that already has MSVC 2019 with it. I seem to only have MSVC 2015 QMake and MSVC 2017 QMake. Is there a way to get a compatible Qt version for MSVC 2019?

MSVC2019 is not officially supported but the MSVC2017 libraries should be binary compatible with MSVC2019

Normally you can fix it by just calling vcvarsall.bat that is located in the VC directory before calling CMake

@VRonin That would explain it. Thank you for your response. I have tried so many things to get CMake to detect 2017's compiler but I can't get it to work. Again, it's a different topic and I have a post on Stack Overflow dedicated to it. Do we have a time frame on when 2019 will be officially supported?
