[Development] compilation of qt5.5 examples with qt creator with visual studio 2012 (msvc2012) fails

[Arjun Das]

Hi

I used the following configure options and commands to build qt5.5:

*configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -platform
win32-msvc2013 -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests nmake*

QT is built successfully. After this, I installed QT creator 3.4.0 beta and
configured qmake for qt5.5 and using Microsoft Visual studio C++ compiler
12.0 . Now when i try to build the qt3D examples using the QT creator, I am
getting the following compile errors:

*cpp.exe.2968.1625.jom qtmain.lib(qtmain_win.obj) : error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol __imp__CommandLineToArgvW at 8 referenced in
function _WinMain at 16 release\cylinder-cpp.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1
unresolved externals jom:
C:\qt5.5\build-qt3d-Desktop-Release\examples\cylinder-cpp\Makefile.Release
[release\cylinder-cpp.exe] Error 1120 jom:
C:\qt5.5\build-qt3d-Desktop-Release\examples\cylinder-cpp\Makefile
[release] Error 2 12:57:27: The process
"C:\Qt\qtcreator-3.3.81\bin\jom.exe" exited with code 2. Error while
building/deploying project qt3d (kit: Desktop) When executing step "Make"
12:57:27: Elapsed time: 00:03.*

I understand that this error is because of winmain function missing which
is required by visual studio compiler for any windows applications, However
how does qt take care of it? What are the header files to be included to
avoid this error for qt examples? Please help me with your suggstions and
let me know if I am missing any steps also.


Thanks

Regards

Arjun
