Use new Qt 5.11 QML compiler with Visual Studio

[deleted57]

Hi all

As in topic is possibile to "enable" the new QML compiler just introduced with Qt 5.11 open source version using Visual Studio as development IDE?

I found this guide:

http://doc.qt.io/QtQuickCompiler/

but how to set the "qtquickcompiler" option with Visual Studio? (if possible)
Thank you

There is no need to turn it on. The QML compiler is enabled by default. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-deployment.html#qml-caching

This is the caching done at first execution into the target machine. I'm referring to the topic just below your:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-deployment.html#compiling-qml-ahead-of-time

Before this feature was part only of the commercial version but from 5.11 is available also for open source.

• Have you followed the steps described there?
• Have you CONFIG += qtquickcompiler to your .pro file? If so, did you get any error message?
• Is qtquickcompiler available in your PATH?

These steps are for Qt Creator (inside the .pro file). I already tested and it work but my question was how do the same using Visual Studio?

i guess you have to wait until the Qt VS plugin has added support for add the corresponding custom build steps
