Adding a very simple CMakeLists.txt, main.cpp, and Main.qml, along with some scripts so that this is compiled in a GitHub CI runner for win64_msvc2019_64 using Qt 6.5.3.
This reproduces the issue described at https://forum.qt.io/topic/146961/building-qt6-5-with-nmake-error
However, skip ahead to the very next PR in this repo (a PR that will also be marked as draft and then closed without merging it), and in the next PR (PR #121) you can see that updating from Qt 6.5.3 to Qt 6.7.3 eliminates the problem. 🎉

As shown in the log: https://github.com/219-design/qt-qml-project-template-with-ci/actions/runs/14743379442
