CMake error with msvc in CLion

[akshaybabloo]

I am trying to run cmake on CLion and I get the following error

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:36 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "QT" that is compatible
  with requested version "".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    C:/Qt/6.0.0/msvc2019_64/lib/cmake/Qt6/Qt6Config.cmake, version: 6.0.0 (64bit)

This is working fine on macOS though. I tried setting QT_DIR and Qt6_DIR but I still get that same error.

@akshaybabloo File->Settings->Build,Execution,Deployment->Toolchains

Select "Visual Studio", and you can see “Architecture" configuration.

My CLion is version 2020.3.1.

Hi,

Your CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should point to the "Qt/6.0.0/clang_64/lib/cmake" subdir.

[akshaybabloo]

@SGaist Apple is working fine actually. It's the MSVC part that is not working

[SGaist]

What do you get if you use a simple:

find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS Widgets)

?

[akshaybabloo]

@SGaist Tried it. Still same error

[SGaist]

Does it work with Qt Creator ?

[zhangyiant]

I found CLion by default uses x86 as the Architecture for VS in the toolchains setting.

I changed it to amd64, it works on my machine.

You can try it.

[akshaybabloo]

@zhangyiant How would you change that?

[akshaybabloo]

@SGaist Yes, it did

[zhangyiant]

@akshaybabloo File->Settings->Build,Execution,Deployment->Toolchains

Select "Visual Studio", and you can see “Architecture" configuration.

My CLion is version 2020.3.1.

@zhangyiant Thank you very much, I had such a problem too, it worked for me too.
