Trying to build static Qt5 in ubuntu 12.04 for deploying standalone executable - make errors

bloks

I'm trying to statically build Qt5 on ubuntu 12.04 so I could deploy a standalone executable.

Following the "'Qt for X11 Requirements'":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/requirements-x11.html page, I've installed the following packages:

libfontconfig1-dev
libfreetype6-dev
libx11-dev
libxcursor-dev
libxext-dev
libxfixes-dev
libxft-dev
libxi-dev
libxrandr-dev
libxrender-dev

I'm trying to follow the instructions from these links:

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/linux-building.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-x11.html

but I can never get past the make stage.

My configuration is as follows: ./configure -static -prefix /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1 -opensource -qt-xcb

I'm getting errors in the following areas:

@
make[3]: Leaving directory /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/tools/qmlprofiler' make[2]: Leaving directory /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/tools'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative'
make: *** [module-qtdeclarative-make_first] Error 2
@

What should I do?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

How did you configure Qt ?

bloks

Thanks! I configured it without any parameters.

SGaist

There's something I am not understanding here. You want to compile Qt statically and you don't pass any parameter when configuring ?

First post edited.

It is better to add another post with your new results instead of editing the previous. With adding new post you will make it easier for a reader to understand you problem and the history of the problem.

Could you post the error messages from a compiler or linker.
The messages that you have posted are from make and are not very useful.

bloks

How do I retrieve the error messages from the compiler/linker?

andreyc

The lines in make output above those that you put in your message.
It should contain words like "error" or "warning"

bloks

I think these should be it:

Did you delete directory with previously failed build of qt and unarchive it fresh before run configure with the options?

bloks

I ran 'make uninstall' then deleted the directory every time.

andreyc

You don't need to run 'make uninstall' if have not install it yet. Just delete is enough.
Most of the messages are warning from third party libraries. The error is
@
sh: 1: /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner: not found
Project ERROR: Failed to parse qmlimportscanner output.
@
Is it possible that you run out of space on /tmp ?

Also I just noticed that you set prefix to the build directory. I don't think it is correct. I have not tried it. Usually '-prefix' is for the prefix to an install path.
If you want to install Qt to $HOME/Qt then prefix should be $HOME/Qt
Try to change -prefix and run configure, make again on fresh un-archived directory.

andreyc

In addition, if you have enough space in /tmp and if change of the prefix does not help either then redirect all make output to a log file and try to find out why qmlimportscanner is not found. Was it build?

bloks

I've followed your instructions and have the output in a file. The qmlimportscanner file is clearly there but for some reason the make file can't see it.

andreyc

Have you checked a space on /tmp ?
@
df -h /tmp
@

After build failed do you see qmlimportscanner?
@
ls -l /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner
@

bloks

df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 451G 38G 391G 9% /

There should be more than enough space in /tmp.

ls -l qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4330556 May 21 10:17 qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner

andreyc

I tried to build Qt 5.2.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit and it failed to build qtwebkit. So I don't know if it passed or not the point where your build failed. I see that qmlimportscannel is built but I don't see any call to it.

I noticed that you build Qt under root.
Try to build it under normal user, maybe root environment is restricted.

bloks

I tried building it without root, and I still got these errors:

Using PCH Using PCHsh: 1: /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner: not found
Project ERROR: Failed to parse qmlimportscanner output.

The file is there as usual.
