Getting thousands of errors while linking Wireshark with QT library

Wireshark version : 3.2.7

OS : Windows

Issue : While building Wireshark code it is observed that there are thousands of errors when linking with QT library. I verified the QT installed path, QT5_BASE_DIR path in environment variable, all looks good. But, failing to link. What could be the issue.

(Link target) -> about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __cdecl AuthorListModel::metaObject(void)const " (?me taObject@AuthorListModel@@UEBAPEBUQMetaObject@@XZ) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void * __cdecl AuthorListModel::qt_metacast(char const *)" (?qt_metacast@AuthorL istModel@@UEAAPEAXPEBD@Z) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual int __cdecl AuthorListModel::qt_metacall(enum QMetaObject::Call,int,void * )" ( ?qt_metacall@AuthorListModel@@UEAAHW4Call@QMetaObject@@HPEAPEAX@Z) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __cdecl PluginListModel::metaObject(void)const " (?me taObject@PluginListModel@@UEBAPEBUQMetaObject@@XZ) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void * __cdecl PluginListModel::qt_metacast(char const *)" (?qt_metacast@PluginL istModel@@UEAAPEAXPEBD@Z) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual int __cdecl PluginListModel::qt_metacall(enum QMetaObject::Call,int,void * )" ( ?qt_metacall@PluginListModel@@UEAAHW4Call@QMetaObject@@HPEAPEAX@Z) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __cdecl ShortcutListModel::metaObject(void)const " (? metaObject@ShortcutListModel@@UEBAPEBUQMetaObject@@XZ) [C:*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj] about_dialog.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void * __cdecl ShortcutListModel::qt_metacast(char const *)" (?qt_metacast@Short cutListModel@@UEAAPEAXPEBD@Z) [C:\U*\wireshark-3.2.7\wireshark.vcxproj]
