Qt Build Issue

Sikander Rafiq

HI,
I am getting very strange QT build errors. Here are the error details.

You don't get a 'Qt build error' since you don't build Qt but your own app. Show the corresponding CMakeLists.txt - looks like you're adding MSVC options to your command line but using MinGW.

HI @Christian-Ehrlicher
Thank you so much for your reply. I don't find any CMakeLists.txt file in source code. Yes Im trying to build my own project which is actually written by some other developers. I just started work on it and no previous developer is here to help me out in building the app.

Yes, I have configured MinGW kit using QT 5.15.2 to build this project.
What I get from your message " looks like you're adding MSVC options to your command line but using MinGW." is I have to use MSVC compiler/kit to build this app. Pls confirm and help me out to build this app.

@Christian-Ehrlicher is not saying you have to use MSVC. He is saying you appear to be (mostly) using MinGW but some MSVC-style options are being passed to the compiler as well. Which won't work. You need to track down where those options are coming from in your kit/build selection. We don't know where your arguments like /W3 are specified. If you don't have a CMakeLists.txt then maybe you are using qmake and your project has a .pro file instead?

Hi @JonB
Thanks for your comments. Yes we are using qmake and our project has .pro file. I have use Micorsoft Visual C++ Build Tools (x64) and then all those build errors goes away and build successfully, though now getting linker error(i.e. LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'rc.exe').
Pls see screenshot attached.
Thank you so much all for your kind cooperation.

@Sikander-Rafiq
OK, you have now changed from MinGW to MSVC and that seems to suit you better.

I suggest you Google for error link 1158 rc for the various possible solutions to why LINK cannot find rc to run.

@JonB
yes it is also resolved by adding C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64 to system's path.

I am able to run my app through code. Thank you so much All. Special thanks to @Christian-Ehrlicher. Great help!.
