Windows: Qt6 interprets all source as utf8?

[davecotter]

I have 2 kits, qt5, and qt6. They both use the same compiler (vs 2019). The source code is all encoded "macRoman (code page 10000)". The qmake file has these lines:

CONFIG += no_utf8_source
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /source-charset:.10000	# macroman code page

This works fine in qt5.
In qt6, it is apparently ignored, and my text comes out with garbled curly-quotes and elipsis, among other things.

Is there some setting in Qt Creator to fix this? Or what am I missing?

I'm afraid I don't know the solution to your issue, but perhaps someone else might be able to find some clues from the linked thread.
