Cannot compile Qt 5.15 on windows 10

[dr3mro]

I have Qt 5.12.9 compiled successfully using MSVC 2017 on windows 10 machine and today I have tried to compile Qt 5.15.0 using MSVC 2019 but it failed

this is the error message I get

and here is my steps

• install VS 2019 + ATL + MVC + Python 2 x86 and add it into top of path
• add lib,site-packages,scripts subfolders
• install LLVM x86
• install CMAKE and add to PATH
• install Active Perl and add to Path
• add env Var LLVM_INSTALL_DIR = C:\Program Files (x86)\LLVM\
• add env Var CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH = C:\Qt\5.15.0\msvc2019
• Install Qt for msvc
• add C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin to path
• edit "C:\Qt\Sources\qt-everywhere-src-5.15.0\qtbase\mkspecs\common\msvc-desktop.conf"

[Before]
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O2 -MD
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MD -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG = -Zi -MDd

[After]
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O2 -MT
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MT -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG = -Zi -MTd

and here is my config

and finally install python 3.6  as it is needed for Qt creator

any help is really appreciated

[QuiNo]

hello @dr3mro , did found a solution?

I have the same issue here with Qt 5.15.3 and msvc19.

Thanks for any help.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@QuiNo said in Cannot compile Qt 5.15 on windows 10:

here with Qt 5.15.3

Since you've 5.15.3 I assume you've a commercial license so I would suggest to ask the Qt support for help. I would guess the wrong cl.exe is picked up (not the one from msvc 2019)

[QuiNo]

Thanks @Christian-Ehrlicher, I will contact Qt Support.

[wangqiuping]

@dr3mro I have the same issue here with Qt 5.15.3 and msvc2019. can you share your method final?
