    Ls,

    My Pc: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
    Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
    Microsoft .NET Framework
    Version 4.7.02556

    I get the source code on 21-04-2018 with:

    git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git

    configure -developer-build -opensource

    nmake

    I get first error:
    qsharedimageloader.cpp line 176 sign/insigned mismatch

    I solved with:
    //if (size > std::numeric_limits<int>::max())
    size_t size_jma = std::numeric_limits<int>::max();
    if (size > size_jma)

    Second error:

    qdeclarativetextinput.cpp
    graphicsitems\qdeclarativetextinput.cpp(517): error C2039: 'setCursorBlinkPeriod': is not a member of 'QWidgetLineControl'
    c:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtbase\include\qtwidgets\5.11.0\qtwidgets\private../../../../../src/widgets/widgets/qwidgetlinecontrol_p.h(82): note: see declaration of 'QWidgetLineControl'

    I "solved error" by commenting the line number 517 :

    //d->control->setCursorBlinkPeriod(on?QApplication::cursorFlashTime():0);

    Last error:

    0_1524591080352_error_pro_location.jpg

    Maybe that someone has advise for me.

          perl init-repository

          0_1524827880849_perl_init_repository.jpg

          I read the manual as if you what something else (not default) you must do the 'perl init repository' command. See :

          0_1524828074506_specificreleaseofQt.jpg

          I used standard git source code ("branch") download:

            Repo init is still necessary (unless you download source code as .zip archive). Please run it.

            Regarding your error, pass the flag -no-warnings-as-errors (check in configure help if I remember the syntax correctly) to silence this warning/error.

              -warnings-are-errors . Treat warnings as errors [no; yes if -developer-build]

              There sees to be no "-no-warnings-as-errors" configure option.

              The 'warning as errors' comes from the "-developer-build" configure option.

              A little bit strange to compile the source code not as "-developer-build". I will try it with "-developer-build" configure option removed.

                Yes you can skip the -developer-build. But I'm pretty sure the -no-warnings-as-errors exists as well, even though it may be unlisted. Configure help states in the beginning that most flags can be negated with -no.

                  Because -developer-build is for when you're building Qt to contribute to its codebase. Use -debug or -release and specify -prefix directory so make install succeeds.

                          Hi,

                          From the looks of it, you didn't checkout all modules at 5.10.1, did you ?

                            After that, delete C:\dev\persinfonet\Qt_all\Kits\Qt57MSVC2015_32bit and try building again.

                            Did you check out a specific version of Qt? See your earlier screenshot:
                            No, I did a standard toirtoise git download:

                            OK, I just realized that qdeclarativetextinput.cpp is from qtquick1.git which is deprecated. QWidgetLineControl::setCursorBlinkPeriod() has indeed been removed, which breaks the build: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=1b5bc9723c0b23ca5197097c3087df6bbe024a2a

                            Does anyone know the proper way to omit qtquick1.git from the repo initialization?

                            @jan-marco-alkema Follow the steps from my previous post again (but you don't need to run TortoiseGit or call init-repository anymore). This time, also delete C:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtquick1\ before you run configure. Now, Visual Studio won't try to build broken code.

                                What if you use jom.exe install ?

                                  I put in my system path:
                                  C:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtbase\bin
                                  C:\dev\persinfonet\jom\bin

                                  0_1525163012688_jom_qmake.jpg

                                  I see Jomd.exe application:

                                  0_1525163056239_jom_applications.jpg

                                  Jomd doesnot work because jomd uses qt dll's, which have to be build by compiling QT.

                                  "Workaround": I should compile with nmake. After nmake compiling, i must copy QT exe and dll files to another place ("C:\dev\persinfonet\Qt_all\Kits\Qt57MSVC2015_32bit" ?)

                                    Jom is already provided with Qt, somewhere under the Qt Creator folder.

                                      @SGaist said in vs2015 errors with (git) source code:

                                      Jom is already provided with Qt, somewhere under the Qt Creator folder.

                                      I like to compile QT from source. N.B. If I use windows QT installer i will get jom.exe

                                      I did execute the commands:
                                      jomd
                                      jomd install

                                      0_1525215276133_jomd_install.jpg

                                      Now i get the Qt57MSV2015_32bit directory. Maybe i forgot "nmake install" in the nmake solution.
