Although I can add a Qt ARM version to the Qt VS Addin, there is no way to easily create a working project.

Please tell me I'm wrong about this and there really is a simple way to do it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install a Qt Windows ARM version
2. Add Qt Windows ARM version using "Qt VS TOOLS/Qt Options"
3. Create a new Qt Console Application project
4. Build
   • Observe build failure:

     1>------ Build started: Project: TestVSAddinArmProject, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
     1> main.cpp
     1>Qt5Cored.lib(Qt5Cored.dll) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'ARM' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
     ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

5. Use "Configuration Manager" to add a new ARM solution platform.
6. Build again
   • Observe build failure:

     ---------------------------
     Qt Visual Studio Tools
     ---------------------------
     The following error occured:

     There's no Qt version assigned to this project for platform ARM. Please use the 'change Qt version' feature and choose a valid Qt version for this platform.

7. Use the "Qt Project Settings" dialog to change the "Version" to the Qt ARM version
8. Build
   • Observe that build error is same as in step 4 and you are in a loop and must try something different.

I manually edit the *.sln and *.vcxproj files to get my projects to build and deploy to my ARM target, but it is tedious and I am not aware of any documentation discussing how to do it.

The attached project is an example of such a case where I modified a Win32 project to build for ARM.
