Windows build - Compilation error on snesreader moc files

[Krokodyl]

Hello,

I get this error when I try to compile the current branch.

I'm using Windows 10, w64devkit-1.18.0.
I cloned the repo with git bash, and activated the submodule with 'git submodule update --init --recursive'. I get the error when running mingw32-make.exe from w64devkit-1.18.0.
I also tried to run mingw32-make.exe from git bash (mingw64) but I can't even start the compilation (Qt5 files are not found despite the fact that the submodule folders are in the $PATH).
Should I just install Visual Studio and QT5 directly?

It's strange that moc apparently works fine for bsnes itself but not for the plugins. If you run mingw32-make build (which skips building the optional plugins)` does bsnes itself build and link successfully?

I also tried to run mingw32-make.exe from git bash (mingw64) but I can't even start the compilation (Qt5 files are not found despite the fact that the submodule folders are in the $PATH).

Try passing platform=win to mingw32-make to force the build to use the prebuilt Windows Qt binaries. (I may need to fix platform detection for mingw64)

Both solutions worked!
I can build the exe now.
Thanks.

I wasted so much time trying to get this to build. fortunately the answer was in a closed issue :)
