Qt 5.15 from source not working with VS Tools
-
I have a project consisting of a few in house libraries using Qt and a main application project also utilizing Qt. I wanted to step into the code of Qt to see why exactly a problem was occurring in the backend since I exhausted all other ideas. For that purpose, I grabbed the 5.15.0 Git repo and after some small set-up issues, I got a clean configure and nmake / nmake install.
I am running on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 and have the VS Tools installed in addition to that. I have added the new version of Qt produced from the nmake install through VS Tools but everytime i try to switch to this version for the separate projects it throws an Error "The following error occurred: " without any further information, the Qt VS Tools log is empty as well as all other logs.
When going through the nmake I saw some warnings, but the finished output said it was successful. Have i overlooked something or are there other steps I'm missing? -
After some more debugging I found out, that when linking the compiled Qt Version in the Qt VS Tools I get an error that says
Project ERROR: Could not find feature shared. --- qmake(8968): exit code 3 (201.9 msecs)I am assuming that something has gone wrong in the build process. Is there any advice on how to resolve this issue?
