<![CDATA[How to get/make a Qt source code MSVC solution?]]>There are plenty of sites describing how to build the Qt 6 for Windows using MSVC compiler (like: this or this, official page), but the job is being done from the command line by using x64 Native Tools Command Prompt and so on. I'm wondering is it a way to configure/setup the cmake to produce a MSVC solution (*.sln, *.vcxproj etc) that can be opened and easily managed directly from MSVC IDE?

The configuration part needs to be done on the command line. For the build, doesn't Visual Studio support cmake ?
That said, I don't think that having the whole of the Qt modules open at once in an IDE is a good idea.
