I downloaded Qt5.6 VS2013 32bit and try to run the official example of QtWebEngine. I just followed the instruction but When linking it gives out an error of

LNK1104 file not found c:\Users\qt\work\install\lib\Qt5Widgetsd.lib.

However, I have no idea of where this path c:\Users\qt\work\install\lib\ comes from. I did text search in all directories of example folder and no hits other than generated files(makefiles and pdbs).

I also checked system environment variables but no hits. Furthermore, I checked Qt Creator'r Projects panel and its Build Environment and still no hits.

Did I miss something?

P.S. this error was given out by linking DemoBrowser example of QtWebEngineWidgets pro

The link is generated by qmake when it generates the build scrip from the qt project file (*.pro). It is based from the qmake application path that is generaly installed together with the libraries (check you qt kit setup to change it if needed: Jst browse to qmake.exe application). Then try regenerate the build script. It should fix the issue.

You may also have issue with installation not being in debug mode; you are trying to use Qt5Widgetsd.lib library instead of the non-debug one Qt5Widgets.lib
