Supported steps to compile for windows are here. Did you follow these?

Thank you for the reply.

Yes I followed the listed steps for windows

[m-kuhn]

The abovementioned output in observed behavior are warnings. Do you have an error message?

[m-kuhn]

Actually it looks like you are building for x64-windows whereas the docs mention x64-windows-static, or am I missing something here?

It seems you are building for x64-windows whereas the instructions mention x64-windows-static, am I missing something?

[SI-Lab]

Oooh

Kindly, where do I change from x64-windows to x64-windows-static?

Thank you.

[m-kuhn]

If you follow the steps in the windows section on https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/doc/dev.md it should be static

Even after declaring VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static on windows environment, I still get the same error.

The best information you will get is probably in the log file that is mentioned in your screenshot #4347 (comment)

Happy to inform you that I managed to compile and have qfield.sln file. Now while building on VS 2019, I got these repeated error LNK2038. Kindly help.

[m-kuhn]

I never work with VS and just build on the console.

It's almost certainly related to the following line from the dev doc

CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=MultiThreaded\$<\$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>

Do you have any suggestions to improve the windows build doc?

I followed microsoft/vcpkg#30327

It worked.

[m-kuhn]

Good!
Is there something useful we should add to the windows build instructions in doc/dev?
