OK, somehow my Qt setup got messed up in this process. I assumed it was
because of the switch to VS2017. Maybe it was caused by something else,
like my upgrade to Qt 5.12, which I assumed would leave all the CMake
configurations the same, so how could it affect things this way?. I
don't have certainty on this generally, I only know that I need some
extra steps to get Qt back up and running fully with MuseScore.

But the build and install directories change, so you have to
reconfigure at least that part.

The VS2017 Compile instructions
<https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instructions-windows-visual-studio-2017>
have been updated to correct errors and reflect my experience
"undergoing the procedure".
The only thing missing are instructions on how to reconfigure Qt, so
that you can run the two side-by-side, as Jojo does. If I ever
bother to do that setup, I'll add it to the instructions. So far I
have not had an urgent enough need. I do know that it requires
reconfiguration, otherwise it causes a specific git glitch that I
experienced here: https://musescore.org/en/node/278761

Though that can be done with Qt 5.12 and Qt Creator. Beyond that I
don't know the rationale for any official change of tools. I'm just
trying to use the most normal, median setup, so that I have as few
problems as possible going forward. Depending on my experience over
the next couple of days I might move back to Qt Creator. If editing
.ui files is the only thing I need to do in Qt Creator, then that's
not a big deal, as I rarely do that.
I have experience with VS2017 from a Web Audio project I did a year
ago, so for me it's a consolidation of tools, not a learning of new
tools. I am doing a bunch of different development in different
languages, and while Qt Creator has a great editor for C++, it's not
so great for JavaScript, CSS, and other stuff I'm doing. On the
other hand, my experience using VS2017 as a JavaScript editor has
not been positive during the past day or so, which is disappointing.
Regardless, one less IDE on my PC is a good thing, so I'm still
cautiously optimistic about this move to VS2017.

recall it ever being explained.

I already have a reason to edit one of the .ui files, which

it does is crash VS2017.
Jojo - are you able to edit .ui files inside VS2017? Or is
that one of the reasons you still use Qt Creator?
For now I'm going to edit this file in Qt Creator and then
reopen VS2017 after I'm done.

To end this thread on a note that might interest the email list:
What configuration are you using personally right now? It
sounds like you're still using mingw, and that MuseScore still
supports building with mingw. Is there a timeline for ending
that support and only supporting MSVC inside Visual Studio?

To make sure I understand - "the former" is VS 2017, which is
the official Windows build method now, so I should switch to it.
OK. I see instructions for that here:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instructions-windows-visual-studio-2017
Are those up-to-date? Or maybe nothing has changed for those
instructions.
I just finished installing Qt 5.12 ...

So I should stop using Qt and switch to MSVC? I have Visual
Studio 2017 installed for another project. I could switch.
Or is this MSVC inside Qt Creator?

Ah, good to know, maybe just in tile for musescore 3 beta ;-)

I am updating to the final RC right now. It was released
several hours ago.

OK. My deploy steps seem to have gotten toasted in the
process too. I'm having trouble going back to building my
previously committed, unrebased code. I've been hoping
for a real 64 bit version of this to come along, so I
think I'll try 5.12, if that's an approved version for
MuseScore. I just looked at the handbook and there it is,
as of 3 weeks ago 5.12 and 64 bit is available. OK. I'll
install Qt and follow instructions again.
Thanks!

Yesterday I was building with off of a master that was a
few months
old. Today with the new master I am getting this error
at the very end
of the build:
CMake Error at mscore/cmake_install.cmake:46
<http://cmake_install.cmake:46> (file):
file INSTALL cannot find
"C:/Qt/Tools/mingw530_32/bin/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
<http://libgcc_s_seh-1.dll>".
I am running Qt 5.9.5 <tel:5.9.5>, and you can see the
mingw version in the error
message. I have not compiled MuseScore in the past few
months, did I
miss something? Do I need to change my install
configuration, and if
so, how do I do that? Or do I need to find a copy of
this dll file and
copy it into this mingw folder?
Thanks!
