Compile with msvc

[sybe]

Hello,

I have developed a c++ project in console and compile it with a cmakelist.txt file and msvc compiler.
It works good.
Now I want to add a UI with QT.
I would like to know if it is possible to compile my qt project and my c++ project with only msvc ?
Or if I need to use mingw for QT ?

Here this is my cmakelist.txt :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(UI VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX)

project(myProject)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.21)

if (MSVC)
    add_compile_options(
        /W4                         # AllWarnings
        $<$<CONFIG:DEBUG>:/MTd>)    # C++ debug redistributable static link
else()
    add_compile_options(-Wall -Wextra -pedantic)
endif()

add_subdirectory(src)

add_executable(myProject)

target_sources(myProject PRIVATE src/main.cpp)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)

set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

find_package(QT NAMES Qt6 Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets LinguistTools)
find_package(Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets LinguistTools)

set(TS_FILES UI_fr_FR.ts)

set(PROJECT_SOURCES
        UI/main.cpp
        UI/mainwindow.cpp
        UI/mainwindow.h
        UI/mainwindow.ui
        UI/${TS_FILES}
)

if(${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} GREATER_EQUAL 6)
    qt_add_executable(UI
        MANUAL_FINALIZATION
        ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
    )
# Define target properties for Android with Qt 6 as:
#    set_property(TARGET UI APPEND PROPERTY QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR
#                 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android)
# For more information, see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-add-executable.html#target-creation

    qt_create_translation(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${TS_FILES})
else()
    if(ANDROID)
        add_library(UI SHARED
            ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
        )
# Define properties for Android with Qt 5 after find_package() calls as:
#    set(ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android")
    else()
        add_executable(UI
            ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
        )
    endif()

    qt5_create_translation(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${TS_FILES})
endif()

target_link_libraries(UI PRIVATE Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Widgets)

#set_target_properties(UI PROPERTIES
#    MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER my.example.com
#    MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}
#    MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING ${PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR}
#    MACOSX_BUNDLE TRUE
#    WIN32_EXECUTABLE TRUE
#)

if(QT_VERSION_MAJOR EQUAL 6)
    qt_finalize_executable(UI)
endif()

I tried to compile with the msvc compiler on vs code, I have this erreor :

Building Custom Rule C:/gitdir/myProject /CMakeLists.txt

[build]   myProject .vcxproj -> C:\gitdir\myProject \build\Debug\myProject .exe

And I tried to compile on QT too, and I have this error :

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "QT" with any of the following names: Qt6Config.cmake qt6-config.cmake Qt5Config.cmake qt5-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "QT" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "QT_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "QT" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

Do you have any idea to make my program and compilation work ?

Thank you in advance for your response

What version of MSVC are you using?
