I am building the latest QtCreator source downloaded from git, while building I get this error:
..\..\..\..\lib\qtcreator\plugins\qmldesigner\qtquickplugin4.dll:-1: error: LNK1120: 1 unresolved externalsI see that many many plugins get compiled but when it reaches qmldesigner plugin the compilation stops with the above error. I also notice that the qtquickplugin4.lib get created but qtquickplugin4.dll do not!
