Qt project with visual studio, compilation time
-
Hello,
I have a C++ Qt project that I develop with visual studio 2022, using the Qt VS tool.
Everything works fine, except that when I change a .h file (for instance adding a int variable), the project compiles in 3 minutes.
When I do exactly the same (i.e adding a variable on a .h file), with Qt creator, it takes only 40 seconds to compile.
When I modify a .cpp file, it's much quicker and I don't have a big difference of compilation time between Qt creator and visual studioDo you have an idea on why there is such a big difference on the compilation time in Qt creator and visual studio, and how could I solve that?
Thank you. -

Thank you.@Pierre_VBI Is it the same code base you're building in VS and QtCreator and is it the same header file you're changing?

...And do they use identical compiler options, e.g. wrt pre-compiled headers...? -

@jsulm yes exactly the same

...And do they use identical compiler options, e.g. wrt pre-compiled headers...?@JonB I guess everything is the same.
Actually I started this project with Qt creator, and used the option on the .pro file :
TEMPLATE = vcapp
This generates automatically the same project on visual studio (.cvxproj file, with normally the same options)
