QGroundControl 3.5 source code compile error

Hi!
I’m having trouble compiling the qgroundcontrol source code. The error looks like this:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘obj\QGCMapEngine.obj’

jom: C:\Users\mihon\Qt Project\QGroundControl3_5_1Costum\qgroundcontrol\build\Makefile.Release [release\QGroundControl.exe] Error 1181

jom: C:\Users\mihon\Qt Project\QGroundControl3_5_1Costum\qgroundcontrol\build\Makefile [release] Error 2

The QGCMapEngine File.obj in the obj directory is really missing. However, there is the same file with the prefix “moс_”.
What could be the problem?

Hi I found an answer for this you have to use qt 15.5.x and you have to download msvc 2019 via visual studio code and in qt maintenance tool select msvc 2019 and qt charts and some basic things after that
you do not have to use any spaces in your qgc directory and try to compile it will work properly.
