qt5_create_translation slows down the build a lot

[Rajnish]

Hi,
After upgrading the cmake to 3.21.1, ts files takes a lot of time to build.
Previous time taken: less than 1 minute
Updated time taken: more than 2,3 hours
QT vesion: 5.15
OS: Windows 7, and 10 (both)

I don't think that qt5_create_translation() triggers this, esp. since it's not a macro from cmake but from Qt's cmake macros and therefore shipped with Qt. You must be doing something wrong. But without code...

@Rajnish said in qt5_create_translation slows down the build a lot:

After upgrading the cmake 1.54 to cmake 1.66

Where are you getting these version numbers? CMake 1.66 is ancient (if that's even an actual CMake version number). I think the minimum version of CMake for Qt5 is 2.8 or 3.1. The current version you can install with the Qt's MaintenanceTool is 3.21.1.

Sorry for the worng version of cmake that I had mentioned above. Its Cmake 3.21.1
