Qt in given path was build using MinGW

[nimrod1989]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up the VS extension for QT but when I try to give the QT path it gives me this error.

I'm using VS 2017 Community edition and I've installed the latest QT version from here:
QT open source download page (https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/)

How do I get this working?

As the error says, you installed a MinGW built Qt.
If you want to use Qt with Visual Studio you need to install a visual studio built Qt.
As far as I can see on the download page only MSVC 2015 is supported, I don't know if MSVC 2017 will be compatible, you can try.
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2015_64-5.6.2.exe
Or, you can get the latest source of Qt5.9.1 and build it with your visual studio.

Thank you for your reply.

After removing the incorrect installed version and installed the correct one I was able to create a sample project.

However, when trying to build it, I was prompted with the following list of errors. May this error be related with the fact that I've installed QT for VS 2015, while I have the VS 2017 installed?

Hard to tell as the screenshot is both hard to read due to low resolution and what I can make out is that it seems there is a problem with the include of the ui file.
The errors indicate that include paths to math lib and probably others are missing.
It has been years since I worked with visual studio, so I can't really say where you can check to make sure these include paths are set and correct.
Either someone else here can help you with that, or you could also try a visual studio related forums.

Hello guys,

I was able to fix my environment after looking in the Output view, instead of the Error List:


1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: QtGuiApplication1, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Pla tforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\v141\Toolset.targets(3 6,5): error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".
1>Done building project "QtGuiApplication1.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========


Unfortunately, I need to make this change each time I create a new qt project.

@high_flyer thank you once again for your help!
