    Hi,

    I'm trying to compile a simple Qt QML project with xmake.

    My setup is the following:
    xmake.lua:

    add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
    add_requires("qt6quick")
    target("test")
        add_rules("qt.widgetapp")
        add_packages("qt6quick")
        set_kind("binary")
        add_files("src/*.cpp")
    

    and my main.cpp:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <QGuiApplication>
    #include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
    
    
    int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
        QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName("QtExamples");
        QGuiApplication app(argc,argv);
    
        QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
        engine.load(QUrl("PATH/TO/test.qml")); //path change to good path
        return app.exec();
    }
    

    This code is working well on my WSL setup with Ubuntu.

    But when i try this code in Windows, i have the following issue :
    2da1bcf6-512b-40e5-9276-7b92fc1e1843-image.png

    Do someone have a solution for this project to work in Windows. In order to use visual studio community with xmake.

    I've installed Qt6 with creator and so on.

    I prefer to keep xmake if possible.

    Thanks in advance,

      @redwest QQmlApplicationEngine is part of qml module (as can be seen in the documentation), so I guess you need to add qml module to your xmake.lua file.
