Sorry, I can only help with Mingw which I use to build on Linux and Windows. I don't have MSVC. Neither to I have much of a clue about cmake since I use qmake for all projects.

adjust dir names to your requirements.

convenience command (using dirs from above):

i now use cmake GUI which comes with Qt

which after selecting only source and target, allows to configure via a wizard after clicking configurre. Choosing MingW makefiles and compiler destination allowed me to set C and C++ compiler of MinGW. Then, every click of configure brought up more configuration options i had to take care of as described in the error message log until marble finally configured.

in the build directory i then entered the path to mingw make and pressed enter and the mingw make install.

I now have libraries inside my release folder. header i already copied to inc.

Seems they improved the cmake support in Qt Creator. This was a steaming mess a few versions ago.
Anyway, thanks for feedback and the screenshots.

Hi guys,

just for completeness sake I'll add my steps here:

Host: Win10 64-bit, x64, Visual Studio 2017

Read following instructions:
Installed the following using the Qt Installer licensed for (L)GPL development:
- Qt
  - Qt 5.12.9
    - MinGW 7.3.0 32-bit
- Developer and Designer Tools
  - MinGW 7.3.0 32-bit
Checked out atools, littlenavmap and marble into C:\QtProjects according to Development and branches #687 (comment)
Downloaded latest OpenSSL from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
- Copied installed OpenSSL content into C:\QtProjects\openssl-1.1.1d-win32-mingw to avoid altering the littlenavmap.pro file

littlenavmap/littlenavmap.pro

Line 118 in c4efb60

win32: isEmpty(OPENSSL_PATH) : OPENSSL_PATH=$$PWD/../openssl-1.1.1d-win32-mingw

Ran: (Win Prompt & PowerShell mixed, sry)

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.12.9\mingw73_32\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_32\bin
cd C:\QtProjects

copy C:\QtProjects\build-marble-debug\src\lib\marble\marble_export.h C:\QtProjects\Marble-debug\include\marble

Imported, qmake'd and compiled atools and littlenavmap inside Qt Creator
- Set atools as build dependency of littlenavmap
- Changed default build folder names to the predefined ones:
  - atools
    - build-atools-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Debug -> build-atools-debug
    - build-atools-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Release-> build-atools-release
  - littlenavmap
    - build-littlenavmap-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Debug -> build-littlenavmap-debug
    - build-littlenavmap-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Release-> build-littlenavmap-release
Adjusted and ran: /build/win/build_release.cmd for the deployment version

I hope this proves helpful to someone! Thanks for the precise instructions @albar965!

Cheers
