Windows Wireshark 3.4.4 build fails with Qt errors

I successfully built wireshark from source on Linux.

I copied the same source to the Windows 10 machine.

I followed the instructions given at

https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html#ChSetupPrepareCommandCom

I downloaded Qt 5.15.4 using the Qt online installer and then set QT5_BASE_DIR=C:\Qt\5.15.4\5.15.4\msvc2019

The cmake was successful.

The build failed with 1000+ qt unresolved external reference errors.

Examples: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject unresolved external symbol "public: static struct QMetaObject const AboutDialog::staticMetaObject"

I've had great success using the older gtk builds using autotools but this has become a road block.
