Buggy (!) Skeleton program to integrate Qt5 + bgfx on Windows platform Note: it does not work as desired.

You should clone bgfx git repository and its dependencies. In some folder with writting permissions please run:

git clone https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx
git clone https://github.com/bkaradzic/bimg
git clone https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx
cd bgfx
..\bx\tools\bin\windows\genie --with-tools --with-dynamic-runtime --with-examples vs2019

If you have MSVC 2017 then use 'vs2017' keyword instead. It seems that genie supports other MSVC versions, but I did not try. Open the generated bgfx\.build\projects\bgfx.sln in Visual Studio IDE and switch build type to 'Release', switch architecture to 'x64'. Build it (F7 key usually).

You should obtain QT5 library which is built for your MSVC compiler and platform.

You must have CMake installed (https://cmake.org/).

Clone this repo (type in the previous cmd console):

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/PetrPPetrov/bgfx-qt5-win
cd bgfx-qt5-win
mkdir build
cd build
cmake-gui ..

Press 'Configure' button. CMake GUI will shows error that QT_ROOT is not specified:

Need to specify QT_ROOT

Using CMake GUI UI elements you need to specify path to your QT5 library. When press 'Configure' button again. Then you need to specify BGFX_ROOT, BIMG_ROOT and BX_ROOT (where you cloned them previously). Press 'Configure' button again. When 'Configuring done' you need to press 'Generate' button, then 'Open Project'. The BGFX_QT project will be opened in VS IDE. Please select Release (or RelWithDebInfo) configuration and build it (F7 key usually). Select active project 'bgfx_qt' and start it (Ctrl-F5 key usually). Enjoy cube from BGFX framework in QT5 window!
