NMake fail with VARIADIC ! [Resolved]

Sawyer44

Hi,

I try to compile with MSVC2012 since several days.
I already compile QT with MSVC2012 so libs are ok.

I'm under Qt Creator. When this is the moc compilation, the command moc.exe fail.

Console:

Can you help me ? really don't find the problem comes from. These headers files comes from Visual studio 2012 and i compile with nMake still from visual studio 2012. Problam can only come from moc.exe i think...

Thanks for your help

Hi,

This forum is an english speaking forum, you're not likely to get much help posting in french.

That said, it seems you are using the VS2010 mkspec, are you sure your Qt5 is built for VS2012 ?

Sawyer44

Hi,

Thanks i did not pay attention... i use to speak french :p
Yes i entirely compile Qt with VS2012 !

each lib a i use is in x86 and is compiled with Visual Studio 2012.

SGaist

Then.. Why is the mkspec used win32-msvc2010 ?
Do you have multiple versions of Qt ?

Sawyer44

The folder is the same as Qt offers on its web site. I recompile Qt with VS2012 and i replaced libs and binaries in initial downloaded folder. did I forget to replace something ?

SGaist

Ok... Wrong idea, it's better to compile from a clean source package, specially when you are changing the compiler. You have now something like a mixed 2010-2012 Qt beast with tools looking at the wrong places.

You'd better remove that one, get the sources for the Qt you want to use, build it and add that version to Qt creator.

And most importantly, you can't move around a Qt build on windows.

Sawyer44

Ok, i kept the compiled directory, i ll try to use it and i go back and inform you.
Thanks

Hi again,

I tried your solution but the same error again ...

May this help to find what is the problem ?

Thanks,

SGaist

Are you sure you didn't modify your custom built Qt ?

Did you try with a project created from scratch to ensure everything is setup correctly ?

Sawyer44

No, but i just see that package for 64bit version of Qt5 is available built with VS2012 !!
That's cool for me, because correctly setup compiled version of qt5 is pretty difficult when you don't know how to do ....

I m downloading it, and i ll try to compile with it. I go back and inform you about success or not.

meanwhile, i post a new topic: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/27141/ about this package...

Sawyer44

I come back with still errors at building. Now, i use qt buil msvc2012 x64 and the error is the same. I really didn't know what is the fuck....

I discovered a similar problem with boost inclusion in moc : http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/22993

It seems it is a VARIADIC problem ...

any idea, i really have difficulties to solve the problem ....

Thanks !

Sawyer44

Hi,

For people searching for a solution it's quite simple.
I lost a lot of days ....

So, i consider moc.exe is not compatible yet with VS2012 headers. (not all -> xrefwrap)
The solution is to remove includes from HPP files for your class implementing Q_OBJECT macro.
It avoid moc.exe to use includes... To do that properly, just use Q_MOC_RUN macro like this for example:
@#ifndef Q_MOC_RUN
#include <QObject>

#include "AnimeBoxItemView.hpp"
#include "../../Network/Models/AnimeModel.hpp"

#endif@

Then, juste relaunch builder and everything works....
Good luck and thanks....

SGaist

Haaa... The worst is that i followed that boost thread but I completely forgot it... Sorry

Great you could find a working solution !

Don't forget to update the thread's title so other forum users may know that a solution has been found :)

Sawyer44

yes, i saw the boost thread too :p
Thanks u anyway :)

I update the title ...

aenima1891

I've the same problem: Error Macro Argumento Mismatch in xrefwrap file.
I'm using Qt5.1.1 msvc2012 x64.

I've understood that i must remove all msvc2012 headers (like <iostream>) from my QObject class headers. Is this correct?

Can someone give me more explanations?

Thanks!

tiagocc0

The issue is with the moc.exe file, in Qt 5.2 beta they have changed it from error to warning, so now you can compile.
You can either upgrade to 5.2 or you can just get the moc.exe file and put it in the 5.1.1 bin folder like I did, it works.

aenima1891

Thank you so much tiagocc0. It works!
However, now I've 96 warnings "Macro argument mismatch" xrefwrap.
I hope that Qt5.2 will solve this issue.

tiagocc0

The warnings will probably continue to occur since the moc code doesn't know much about VARIADIC, so it was probably making a wrong assumption that may be valid at some cases.

It is strange though because in my case this error started to appear after I changed my local profile to a domain profile with the help of an automatic profile exporter. So I must have something wrong like an environment variable or something that started to cause this issue.
It happens at work, but not at home.

It happened once too when I had Visual Studio 2010 and uninstalled it to install Visual Studio 2012, the exact same error, at the time I resolved the issue by reinstalling Windows, then just installing Visual Studio 2012 and the latest Qt at the time (5).

Unless you are using boost which is known to cause this issue.

aenima1891

I'm not using boost.
I think you're right: this problem may be due by an environment variable. Infact, this happens at work but not at home to me too.
I'd like to know what's the cause of this issue...

tiagocc0

This is a long shot but..

I don't have access to the registry here at work, I'm thinking this might be one of the issues since when I try to open the command line from MSVC 2012 it gives me an error, after analyzing the .bat files I noticed they use the reg.exe file to query the registry.
When I had my local account here at work I had full access to the registry and I lost it when I migrated to the domain account.
So it might not be Qt itself but rather MSVC that isn't properly configured.

Where you have the problem, do have access to use reg.exe or regedit.exe?

When I reinstalled Windows to resolve my issue I had also changed from domain account in Win7 to a local account in Win8.
