6. Clone an existing kit like Qt 6.2.1 MSVC2019 64bit and add ScreenPlay to the new kit name
7. Edit CMake variables amd add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE and VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET
   • Kits -> <Your_Kit> -> CMake Configuration

Append this:

CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:STRING=%{CurrentProject:Path}/../ScreenPlay-vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
# Only _one_ of these lines that match your OS:
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-windows
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-linux
VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-osx

Developer docs

We use qdoc to generate documentation. Qt6 is the minimum version qdoc, because of vastly improved c++ parsing support.

• qdoc.exe configWindows.qdocconf If you have installed Qt in a different directory, change the path to your Qt location.
