[Aleksey Kontsevich]

Thiago,

Of course all these 1-5 points are followed as You can see visiting 1st mentioned link:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/50064670/630169

Please take a look at the line which causes the link problem:
QMetaEnum myEnum = QMetaEnum::fromType<MyLibrary::MyEnumClass>();

It happen only for combination: Q_NAMESPACE, Q_ENUM_NS(MyEnumClass), build under Windows.

You may try it to build yourself under Windows to see the problem:
