I have installed Qt 5.6 beta and Visual Studio 2015 all fresh. But it seems that there is no VS Plugin for VS2015. I'd like to play with these before the official release but I don't know the tasks involved that were covered by the plugin. I've done some attempts of instructions found around the web with no success.
Is there some offcial guide to generate an app with Qt5.6 + VS2015?

Thanks!

I have VS 2015 with Qt 5.5.1 and installed the Qt VS plugin version 1.2.5. Works just fine. The compiler complains that VS 2015 is an unsupported platform for Qt, but otherwise no issues.

Where did you get that version 1.2.5? I can find on 1.2.4 in official releases and nothing in development.
Thanks!

Ah, after some searching I remember now - it is a third-party port from the MS Visual Studio Gallery (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c89ff880-8509-47a4-a262-e4fa07168408). Works just fine in VS 2015; note that it may be buggy if installed for earlier versions of VS.

With 5.6 seems to have some problem. When you add the Qt version it says

"This Qt version uses an unsupported makefile generator (used: MSVC.NETMSBUILD, supported MSVC.NET, MSBUILD)"

From the wording it looks like some small detail somewhere. So far from what I've seen around and tried I am unable to make it work. Thanks anyway.

Sorry about that. Since Qt 5.6 isn't officially released yet, it is to be expected that not all tools will support the beta.
