I have a QT app and the WIN32 resource files AppVersion.rc and windows/winapp.rc in CMakeLists.txt:
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
WIN32_EXECUTABLE TRUE)
string(REPLACE "." "," APP_VERSION_COMMA ${APP_VERSION})
set(CMake_RCVERSION "${APP_VERSION_COMMA},0")
set(CMake_RCVERSION_STR ${APP_VERSION})
set(VersionFile AppVersion.rc)
configure_file(windows/${VersionFile}.in ${VersionFile} @ONLY)
target_sources(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${VersionFile} windows/winapp.rc)
when I compile my app with MSVC2022 and QT 6.6.2 for Windows from the command line it compiles successfully with the following output:

fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -MP
Where does this -MP option go from? Does QT Creator add it?
It compiled successfully with previous versions of QT Creator and QT 6.6.0, what could have changed?
It is simply a wrong rc.exe option, so I can reproduce the error with the following command:
rc.exe -MP
fatal error RC1106: invalid option: -MP
