Solved windeployqt.exe returning 1 without error or warning

[JohanSolo]

Hello,

I'm writing a software using Qt 5.6.2 with CMake and MSVC 2013 on windows 10.

I can compile without problem, run the soft (either from MSVC and the release folder), everything's fine. I discovered the windeployqt software and I want to call it in my CMakeLists.txt file. I had the warning

Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio installation directory, VCINSTALLDIR is not set.

therefore I added the --no-compiler-runtime switch, now the output looks like

Creating qt_ca.qm...

but the output status is 1, therefore failing my build as CMake detects an error. Am I doing something wrong?

[JohanSolo]

My bad, I should have read the output more carefully: the translation qt_ca actually fails. (Why on Earth does it want me to use Catalan) The question is why no error / warning is shown if translations cannot be found. I added --no-translations and now the exit status is 0 leading to a successful build.

Sorry for the noise.
