[SOLVED]Cannot compile Qt 5.4.1

DRoscoe

I downloaded the source files for Qt 5.4.1 and attempted to compile. It originally failed because I didn't have the DirectX SDK installed. It complained about ANGLE. I installed the SDK, cleaned the Qt build, re-ran configure and nmake. This time, configure did no complain about missing ANGLE, but ultimately the build still failed with the following error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GLES2/gl2.h': No such file or directory

I am trying to compile it on Windows 7 via Visual Studio 2010

Any help would be appreciated

I found this:
https://forum.qt.io/topic/35741/qt-5-2-vs2010-gles2-gl2-h-no-such-file-or-directory/6

Adding $(QTDIR)\include\QtANGLE to Project Properties->C++->General->Additional Include Directories has solved the problem for me.

I'm following the instructions that came with the downloaded source bundle, which states:

Windows:
   --------

     Open a Windows SDK (7.0, 7.1 or later) command prompt. Ensure that the
     following tools can be found in the path:
     * Perl version 5.12 or later   [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/]
     * Python version 2.7 or later  [http://www.activestate.com/activepython/]
     * Ruby version 1.9.3 or later  [http://rubyinstaller.org/]

     cd <path>\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-<version>
     configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
     nmake // jom // mingw32-make

     To accelerate the bootstrap of qmake with MSVC, it may be useful to pass
     "-make-tool jom" on the configure command line. If you do not use jom,
     adding "/MP" to the CL environment variable is a good idea.

There's no method to provide such paths, as I am not compiling it in the IDE

The full error is thus:

c:\_views\roscoe\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.1\qtbase\include\qtgui\../../s
rc/gui/opengl/qopengl.h(99) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GLES
2/gl2.h': No such file or directory

The problem here was with my environment. Initially I did not have the Direct X SDK installed. After installing it, re-running configure.bat and nmake did not fix the problem. I completely cleaned out the build, rebooted my computer and tried to recompile again. This time, it failed but due to a problem finding Python. I fixed this and the build worked.
