Hi, When building Qt5.1.1 x64 for vs2010 with the openssl option, I get the following building errors: ....

 ...For unknown reasons he cannot find the QSslCertificate object for linking. I installed the binaries (Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.1e) from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. The include and lib paths are also set in the env vars INCLUDE and LIB. This is my configure: configure -debug-and-release -opengl desktop -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -icu -I c:\Qt\src\icu\include -L c:\Qt\src\icu\lib64 -platform win32-msvc2010 -openssl -openssl-linked -I c:\OpenSSL-Win64

But when I build without the openssl option, the build is successfully and I can use the binaries. Hopefully someone else sees what is going wrong here. Thank you,

Hi, Apparently the solution was to start from a clean git branch again. git clean -dfx

Hi and welcome to devnet, Indeed, every time you reconfigure Qt, you need to start the build from a clean tree. You should have had a warning for that at the end of the configuration step, didn't you ? 
- 
Hi, Yes there is a warning at the end of the configure. ... 
 Generating Makefiles...Qt is now configured for building. Just run nmake. 
 To reconfigure, run nmake confclean and configure.
 ...And I used nmake confclean and clean with every reconfig but apparently that wasn't enough to clean the whole tree. /*edit typo 
- 
What you can also do is use an out of source build. This way you don't pollute the source tree and confclean should work as expected 
- 
That could indeed be the case. Thank you for the tip.

You're welcome ! You should also consider updating to 5.2. Since you have it working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
