Debug DLLs are not installed

[Dmitriano]

I built QT 6.2RC1 for Windows with the following configuration:

configure.bat -prefix %MY_INSTALL_PATH% -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -platform win32-msvc -opensource -confirm-license ^
-opengl es2 -I "C:\Program Files\OpenSSL\include" -L "C:\Program Files\OpenSSL\lib"

cmake --build . --parallel

Both release and debug DLLs were built, but when I did

cmake --install .

only release DLLs where copied to my installation directory. What did I do wrong?

And Debug build of my app links release DLLs.

As a workaround I built separate release and debug versions of QT 6.2:

configure.bat -prefix %MY_INSTALL_PATH% -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -release -force-debug-info -platform win32-msvc -opensource -confirm-license

configure.bat -prefix %MY_INSTALL_PATH% -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -debug -platform win32-msvc -opensource -confirm-license

See my blog post for more information on the build steps.

@Dmitriano It is because you use

cmake --install .

but not

ninja install
