Building apps on windows arm device

Cyrille de Brebisson

Hello,

I am trying to build an app in visual studio using QT6.2 on a windows arm device.

I have downloaded QT6.2 msvc19_arm64 files, but when I go in visual studio to add this to my QT versions and I browse to the msvc19_arm64\bin directory, there is no qmake.exe file for the QT version tool to select.

So, with no QT version that I can associate with my app, how do I build my arm version?

Thanks,
Cyrille

@Cyrille-de-Brebisson If you properly installed that Qt version there should be qmake.exe
Did you try to search for qmake.exe?

Hello,

qmake.exe is not in that directory. In this screenshot. you can see that my qt/6.2.2 folder has mscv2019_arm64, but the dir qmake.exe /s does not show a version in the arm folder (although that folder has over 1GB of content). there is a qmake.exe in the msvc2019_64 folder only.

I installed this version through the maintenance tool.

I just tried to install the 6.3.0 version and the same thing is happening. No qmake.exe in the arm folder.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

@Cyrille-de-Brebisson But did you search for that file (I mean using search function in Windows Explorer for example)?
Maybe it is located in some subfolder?

Hello,

Yes I did. See the dir qmake.exe /s which does a recursive dir for the qmake.exe in all the sub folders of the current folder.
As you can see it did work as it did find the qmake.exe version in the mscv2019_64 directory and mingw_64, but nothing was found in the msvc2019_arm64 folder.

I continued digging in the folder and I also notice that there is no windeployqt.exe in the arm64 folder.
