[Solved] Qt5 static build failed

weiyuemin

Hi, I'm trying to build Qt5 as static library but encountered errors.

At Apr 21th, I had a try, encountered this error:

It's basically a 5.0.2 source. I don't know why I got this. My configuration args is:
configure -debug-and-release -static -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake webkit -no-vcproj

I'm using jom. on Windows XP.

Today (May 3th) I tried again using the same configuration args, encounted this:

It seems error occured on different positions. But they all result in a same sentence:
@
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'Files\Microsoft.obj'
@

I'm using the source from http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.1/5.1.0-beta1/backups/2013-05-02-11/single/

Then,
I changed a machine (Windows7) and using nmake. Also error:

Also 'Files\Microsoft.obj'.

And it is different from https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28196 , I think.

What am I missing?

Thank you !

"-nomake webkit" doesnt exist .. try "-skip qtwebkit"

this line works for me (Windows 7 32bit - msvc2010):

configure.bat -opensource -confirm-license -prefix %CD%\qtbase -make libs -make tools -make examples -no-incredibuild-xge -release -opengl desktop -static -skip qtwebkit -no-icu -nomake tests -nomake examples

seahumad: I just successfully built using your configuration. Thank you !

Well, when I have a try with a hello world program using QtCreator, I faced the same problem described in this thread: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/22566

Will have more try tomorrow.

seahumad: Your configuration line does not work on my another machine.. (Windows 7 32bit - msvc2010) with the same error. (something like cannot open input file 'Files\Microsoft.obj')

Then I successfully built it by installing the DirectX SDK without names in path.

It seemed to be https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28920

Thank you.
