I'm trying to build from source the Qt Installer Framework (https://github.com/qtproject/installer-framework) and have a problem - some executables (e.g. archivegen) for unknown reason tries to be split to two different files - static library .lib and executable .exe. I don't know why is this could happen - there is a setting which is set to "Application (exe)", so where the ".lib" file has got from I don't know. I try to build it with MSVS 2019. Maybe somebody know the reason of the problem?

Do you have some particalr reason to build the Qt Installer Framework from source? In case you don't know, you can easily download and install it from the MaintenanceTool shipped with all the Qt package. – NoobNoob May 26 '21 at 12:33

It's not a static lib but a static import lib so it looks like some functions are marked as dllexport when compiling the sources for whatever reason. But does not hurt at all. – chehrlic May 26 '21 at 16:00
