Why does running IncrediBuild from the command line on my Qt app never halt?


I use Visual Studio 2013 with IncrediBuild to compile Qt apps. Through the IDE everything works fine, but when running on the command line, BuildConsole never returns.

Process that are running:

  • BuildConsole.exe
  • cmd.exe
  • devenv.com
  • devenv.exe
  • MSBuild.exe

Solution

  • Turns out, the qt5appwrapper step was the piece that was never finishing. I could see this by opening up IncrediBuild's Build Monitor window and seeing that that portion was just going and going and going...

    Uninstalling the Qt Add-in 1.2.4 fixed the problem.

    This is done by running Qt5VSAddin\uninst.exe. I found it in my start menu under Qt5 Visual Studio Add-in (not from inside Visual Studio).
