8Observer8

Please, help me!

I want to build Qt statically on Linux Mint 13. This is my steps:

After I instaled Linux Mint 13 I ran this command:

bq. sudo apt-get install build-essential ^libxcb.* libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev

Then I moved to Src directory and ran:

bq. ./configure -prefix "/home/ivan/Qt5.4.0_Static" -static -platform linux-g++ -release -opensource -confirm-license -fontconfig -no-compile-examples -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake tools -opengl desktop -qt-sql-sqlite -make libs -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype

I received:

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into /home/ivan/Qt5.4.0_Static

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.@

I ran the "make" command. But after 20 minites I saw this error: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: dbus

Hello...can u tell the procedure for Qt5.5 statically on windows 7

Arnold

Hello, i made all things how you said. The diffrence is only, i used Qt 5.3.2, Qt creator 3.2.1 and mingw...4.8.2.
Windows 7 Professional

I get some failure and I don't unterstand where they from.

YarrInterpreter.cpp:-1: Fehler: undefined reference to `JSC::Yarr::newlineCreate()'

YarrInterpreter.cpp:-1: Fehler: undefined reference to `JSC::Yarr::wordcharCreate()'

C:/Qt/Qt5.4.0_Static/lib/libQt5Qml.a(YarrInterpreter.o): bad reloc address 0x12 in section `.text$_ZN3WTF15BumpPointerPool6createEj[__ZN3WTF15BumpPointerPool6createEj]'

collect2.exe:-1: failure: error: ld returned 1 exit Status

can someone help me?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

IIRC, this comes from mis-generated files. You are probably missing python in your PATH

Arnold

@SGaist
how can i repair this?

Python is allready installed at --> "C:\Python34"
and Qt with static build is installed at --> "D:\sw_tools\Qt"

What have i to do?

All failure during the mingw32-make and mingw32-make install which are mentioned by 8Observer8 are the same.
failure mingw32-make install

Another question is there a diffrence to use mingw which was installed with Qt or have I to use another Installation of mingw?

Thanks a lot for your help.

SGaist

Re-run configure and restart the build

Arnold

@SGaist

i done it twice, and nothing changed...

i noticed also that qmlscene is not installed

SGaist

How did you modify PATH to include python ? Also, did you do a full rebuild ?

Arnold

I don't modified any paths...

How above said, i modified only the qmake, made a backup of Src, start a configure --> mingw32-make and install
Than i undo the changes and set the kit...
By set the Qt Version and kit i get a yellow warning ...

EDIT: @SGaist Thanks a lot!

I solved my Problem.
You have to include the path to python before configure your qmake.conf
so what i do:

modifed qmake.conf how mentioned by 8Observer8
Start "Qt 5.4.0 for Desktop (MinGW 4.9 32 bit)"
cd C:\Qt\Qt5.4.0\5.4\Src\
now set the path to python.exe my Looks like --> C:\Python34
--> Print in the console --> set PATH=C:\Python34;%PATH%
choose your configuration and follow the instruction of 8Observer8

EDIT:
If you are going to compile one of your old projects, don't forget to remove the "*.pro.user" file otherwise there will be a failure with qmlimportscanner.exe
