Download Qt source zip from https://www.qt.io/offline-installers
Extract, e.g. to C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-src
Run x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019
cd C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-src
set QTDIR=C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-src\qtbase
set PATH=C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-src\qtbase\bin;%PATH%
configure -debug-and-release -prefix "C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-s" -opensource -platform win32-msvc -opengl desktop -static -static-runtime -nomake examples -nomake tests
nmake
nmake install
Some documentation for configure is at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html
| The Option | The Why |
|---|---|
| -debug-and-release | |
| -prefix "C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-s" | |
| -opensource | |
| -platform win32-msvc | |
| -opengl desktop | uses the OpenGL installed on Windows |
| -static | |
| -static-runtime | |
| -nomake examples | |
| -nomake tests |
In Visual Studio -> Qt VS Tools, add C:\Qt\qt-5.15.0-s\qtbase and make it the default.
In Qt Project Settings set Qt Installation to the newly setup version.
qmake
nmake
For release builds, something like
nmake /f Makefile.Release ?? find how to trigger this through Makefile.... that automatically seems to use Makefile.Debug
