Describe the bug
When creating a Qt Widgets Application project, the linker cannot automatically import qtmain.lib or qtmaind.lib. They need to be manually added, otherwise an error will be reported.

Environment

• OS: [Windows 10 x64]
• Compiler: visual studio 2022 17.13.5
  Qt Visual Studio Tools Version:3.3.1.1
  vcpkg package management program version 2025-03-22-d4dd14112c2026ee57e59f966ecfa3b9137bd143

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ./vcpkg install qt5-base:x64-windows-static
2. Open VS2022
   3.Create QT project: Qt Widgets Application,Base calss:QMainWindow.
3. Active(debug x64):vcpkg->Use Static Libraries = YES
4. Active(debug x64):C/C++->Code Generation->Runtime Library=Multi-threaded Debug(MTD)
   When compiling a project

Expected behavior
Compile and generate a static library version of the Qt window program.

[nblwdlt]

Of course, qt5 tools has already been installed.

[nblwdlt]

I haven't added any of my own code.

复制什么？我就是用vcpkg直接install了qt5-base，并且安装了qt5-tools，然后进行了全局集成，创建了qt桌面窗口程序，然后只要不在链接器中的输入里，添加qtmain.lib就无法编译通过，还要复制什么？

[nblwdlt]

问题我现在可以解决，就是在链接器里的输入内，添加qtmain.lib，但我只是觉得在旧的版本中不需要这么操作，还要求复制，有啥可复制的。

解决的了就解决，解决不了也无所谓，我是可以克服，只是说下这个问题而已。其他都随便吧。
