Hi and welcome to devent forum

You are aware that Qt5.13 is still in alpha stage?
It is probably easier to go with a pre-built and released version.

If you have real need to go for Qt5.13 you probably would have to check with the developer mailing list. This is merely a user-driven forum.

thank you.
when I build qt5.12,it can not be builded for some fatal error.
so I checkout 5.13, but tools\uic is still cannot be build.

so I modify the Makefile.Debug manually.

You are aware that there is already a pre-built version of Qt 5.12.1 for MSVC2017 for 32 bit and 64 bit available through the online installer.

Personally I would go for those pre-builds which might save you a lot of hazzle.

Otherwise I do not use MS compilers anymore and I am not of any help here. Possibly someone else may jump into the discussion.

Thanks for your help,
I'll try the pre-built version of Qt 5.12.1
