Qt .pro file: how to check if I'm compiling with MSVC 2013 toolset?

Question

I've tried this condition, but it doesn't work. How to check for MSVC 2013?

win32-msvc2013*{
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /FS
}

I'm using Qt 5.3 Beta which has msvc-2013 mkspec.

Answer 1

Sorry for necroposting, but there seems no googleable solution. Seems I found one. There is vcvars.bat file, which is used for setting correct environment variables for VC. QtCreator, for example, use it while setting Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Compilers. Also it is used for MSVC Command Promt. Let`s check "VisualStudioVersion" env var in qmake (14.0 for MSVS 2015 in my case):

win32-msvc* {
    MSVC_VER = $$(VisualStudioVersion)
    equals(MSVC_VER, 14.0){
        message("msvc 2015")
    }
}

Answer 2

Try this way:

win32-msvc* {
    system(cl|grep "Compiler Version 18.") {
        message( "msvc 2013 detected" )
        QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /FS
    }
}

Can't test it I don't have Windows machine now.

Answer 3

I use following:

contains(QMAKE_COMPILER_DEFINES, _MSC_VER=1800) { 
# MSVS2013
}

Answer 4

Check supported platforms and table of Reference Configurations. There is no msvc2013! Newest visual studio supported is 2012.

So when detecting visual studio do not enforce 2013 sufix. Just use approach shown here

Answer 5

found simple and elegant solution:

win32-msvc*: {
    COMPIL = $$find(CONFIG, "^win32-msvc*")
    COMPIL = $$replace(COMPIL,win32-,) # 'win32-msvc2017' -> 'msvc2017'
}

Edit: this only works with Qt 5.9.0 and later. Only then configs win32-msvc2012/win32-msvc2013/etc. are merged into single win32-msvc
