QGIS installation from Source with Qt 5 in Windows

[Aman55]

I had followed QGIS setup from this link
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md
for Windows setup of QGIS .

I followed all the steps and successfully executed till this line

mkdir osgeo4w-build
cd osgeo4w-build
curl -JLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jef-n/OSGeo4W/refs/heads/master/bootstrap.cmd
curl -JLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jef-n/OSGeo4W/refs/heads/master/bootstrap.sh
bootstrap.cmd qgis-dev

I got response Mon Feb 3 17:34:23 IST 2025: qgis-dev SUCCEEDED

Now, I am unable to find what to do to setup with Qt. I want to use to develop an desktop application in Qt5 c++ Qtcreator using QGIS. Can Any one guide me what will be the next step .

Hi,

From a quick look at the source, I would say that there's likely a cmake Find module that is installed along QGIS so I would use that to set things up and building.

@SGaist Can you guide me the steps?

You can use it the same way it's done for the Qt libraries in your cmake file.
