Instruction on how to build Qt Design Studio add-on components.


Qt Design Studio environment needs a special add-on lib to work

Windows notes:

  • Use MSVC2022, MinGW is not activly supported.
    • you need "Desktop development with C++" + "Windows * SDK" (which is not default)
  • Also, do not use a build path that is too long. For example, if you have a long user path or if one drive is involved, it can result in crazy build errors
    • a good path is, for example, c:\dev. It is also good that it is not synced to one drive, which makes the machine slow during a compile.

Use Qt 6.10.3 to build it. Make sure to enable BUILD_DESIGNSTUDIO in the CMake options.

In case you use your own Qt there is the need to get Studio Components that are used in any wizard-created project

  • its build and installed as part of the build process (qmlpuppet cmake does this).
