== Static build of Qt
|
|
This project requires an x86 static build of Qt that includes at least qtbase and qtdeclarative.
|
|
By default, it will look for the Qt build three levels higher in the file system hierarchy, in
|
"build\qt5-x86-<VS Version>-static", where <VS Version> is one of "vs2017", "vs2019" or "vs2022".
|
|
For example, when building in Visual Studio 2017, if the Qt VS Tools solution is located in
|
X:\dev\vstools (and therefore vsqml is located in X:\dev\vstools\src\vsqml), the project will look
|
for the static build of Qt in X:\dev\build\qt5-x86-vs2017-static.
|
|
It is also possible to override the default Qt build location by setting the following environment
|
variables:
|
QTBUILD_STATIC_VS2017 = <path to x86 static build of Qt for Visual Studio 2017>
|
QTBUILD_STATIC_VS2019 = <path to x86 static build of Qt for Visual Studio 2019>
|
QTBUILD_STATIC_VS2022 = <path to x64 static build of Qt for Visual Studio 2022>
|
|
The following configure options can be used to obtain an optimized build configuration:
|

|
== Project output
|
|
The output DLL is copied to a bin sub-folder inside the project directory
|
(e.g. X:\dev\vstools\vsqml\bin). This is the location where the VS Tools project will look for it.
