VS Add-in: No modules available

qtacc32

Hello,

I built Qt 5.8.0 from the opensource package with VS2013.
The source root is qtsrc.
I ran ..\configure from qtsrc\build_tmp (separate dir to not touch the root files) with -prefix <fullpath>\qtsrc\build_dev.

Now I want to "Add New Qt Version" with the Qt5 Visual Studio Add-in 1.2.5.
If I specify qtsrc\build_dev, it accepts but no modules are available (selectable).
If I specify qtsrc\build_tmp\qtbase, it doesn't accept: "... qtsrc\build_tmp\qtbase\mkspecs\win32-msvc2013\qmake.conf not found"

How do I specify a version in the Add-in correctly?

After nmake + nmake install I have these files:

qtsrc\build_tmp:

qtbase
  bin
    Qt5Cored.dll
    ...
  config.tests
  doc
  examples
  include
  lib
    Qt5Cored.dll
    Qt5Cored.lib
    ...
  mkspecs
  plugins
  qmake
  src
  tests
  tools
qtcharts
  bin
    Qt5Chartsd.dll
  examples
  include
  lib
    Qt5Chartsd.dll
    Qt5Chartsd.lib
    ...
  mkspecs
  src
  tests
...

qtsrc\build_dev:

bin
  assistant.exe
  Qt5Cored.dll
  Qt5Cored.pdb
  Qt5Chartsd.dll
  Qt5Chartsd.pdb
  ...
doc
include
lib
  Qt5Chartsd.lib
  Qt5Cored.lib
  ...
mkspecs
phrasebooks
plugins

Thank you!

What I found with Process Monitor is that the Add-in queries these files when opening the Qt Project Settings:

22:51:43,3166482	devenv.exe	1696	QueryOpen	D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\lib\Qt5Core.lib	NAME NOT FOUND	
22:51:43,3192374	devenv.exe	1696	QueryOpen	D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\lib\Qt5Gui.lib	NAME NOT FOUND	
...

It seems it looks for the release files, but why?
(I created a new Qt Application and the project configuration is "Debug")

@qtacc32 You can build for both: release and debug, then it should work (check configure parameters to see how).

Yep, right.
It's just that normally I have separate debug and release builds with different configurations also.
