<![CDATA[Please help me get googlemaps plugin to work with Python]]>Hi there, I'm trying to get the googlemaps plugin to work with Python. I am able to compile the plugin via MingGW with QT Creator, but I need it compiled with MSVC. I have been unable to configure MSVC2019 or MSVC2015 in a Kit with QT Creator, and there does not seem to be any instructions on the internet.

I have installed MSVC with qt-unified-windows-x64-4.4.1-online.exe and the folders are there but there is no valid kit containing it.

Where I am stuck is what type of compiler do I pick when I am adding C++ compiler for MSVC? I only get a choice of MinGW, GCC, CLang, Custom, or QCC. There is no MSVC.

For QT versions, I have three being detected:

Qt 5.15.2 MinGW 64-bit C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin\qmake.exe
Qt 5.15.2 MSVC2015 64bit C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe
Qt 5.15.2 MSVC2019 64bit C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin\qmake.exe

Also, what MAKE do I use with MSVC. Then I should be ok, thanks!

Everywhere you turn you need something proprietary. I'm used to Linux.

I should be able to copy it to any Windows 10 machine correct?

Yes, but also dependencies of that plug-in

Unfortunately I cannot install the compiler on the machine I'm working on. I will have to find another machine, or perhaps a VM.

If I do install VS community and compile the plugin on Windows 10 somewhere else, I should be able to copy it to any Windows 10 machine correct?

Qt 5.15.2 MinGW 64-bit C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin\qmake.exe
Qt 5.15.2 MSVC2015 64bit C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe

the folders are there

Which folders exactly? What exact version of Qt did you install?
"There is no MSVC" - you need to install Visual Studio or Build Tools from Microsoft including C++ compiler by yourself. QtCompany can't provide Microsoft compilers because of legal reasons.
