Cannot launch demo in Visual Studio

[yanghanlin]

I am planning to integrate AdvancedDockingSystem into my little project, but have come across some difficulties.

I am using Qt 5.13.0 with Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. According to the README, I checked out to the commit tagged 1.0.0. And with the help of Qt VS Tools, I can convert Qt Creator project .pro files into Visual Studio solution and projects in the solution.

However, as I started to build and run the project AdvancedDockingSystemDemo, although it can be successfully built, once the executable is launched, there pops up an error message as follows:

(It is in simplified Chinese and the meaning in English is approximately Code cannot be executed due to the missing AdvancedDockingSystem1.dll. Re-installation of the program may solve the problem.)

The error message indicates that something named AdvancedDockingSystem1.dll is missing, so the program cannot be launched. So what does the problem come from and how can I solve it?

Thanks!

PS: I tried on Qt Creator and everything seems to work perfectly. And I think it may have something to do with the static linking done by Qt Creator (Visual Studio dynamically links Qt libraries to the built executable).
