I'm porting my applications to Qt6, from 5.15. Still using qmake. My

I have a traditional entrypoint: int main(int argc, char* argv[]).
I see in Qt 5 there was a magic helper library qtmain, but this does
not exist in Qt 6.
If I add the linker flag /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup then it builds. What's
the correct Qt solution for this though?
The fact that adding /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup helped implies that you're
linking with /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE and not /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS, i.e.
defaulting to console flavor.
Maybe you forgot "QT += widgets" in the .pro file (just guessing :-)
