Qt 5.9.1 static build Linux

Tikani

Hi!
I'm trying to build static version of Qt 5.9.1 under Linux (amd64, Debian Stable, kernel 4.9.30, GCC 6.3.0) with the following configure:

./configure -static -release -opensource -confirm-licence -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -prefix /home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/static

As make -j4 starts, after a certain amount of time, build fails with the following error:

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/Src/qtbase/src/gui'
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/Src/qtbase/src'
Makefile:48: recipe for target 'sub-src-make_first' failed
make[1]: *** [sub-src-make_first] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/Src/qtbase'
Makefile:82: recipe for target 'module-qtbase-make_first' failed
make: *** [module-qtbase-make_first] Error 2

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

These line here are just the result, it doesn't say exactly what failed. Please run make again but without an -j option.

Then post the exact error you get.

By the way, libssl-dev was installed preliminarily (of version 1.1.0f-3).

SGaist

Then there's your problem: the OpenSSL 1.1.0 release broke API and ABI compatibility with the 1.0 release. There's currently a new backend being written for that new version but in between you have to install the libssl1.0-dev library and compile against that one.

Tikani

@SGaist
Does Qt have the official public bugtracker or smthing similar, where each Qt release brief desrciption comes with a list of dependencies ( where versions of these dependencies are pointed precisely)? One wants to see all possible issues and caveats.

SGaist

Yes, there's an official bug tracker that's mentioned numerous of time on the forum as well as on the official Qt website and it's quite easy to find. A quick search with "qt openssl 1.1" would have pointed you the related bug reports.

On the good news front, following QTBUG-52905, Qt 5.10 should have support for OpenSSL 1.1.

As for the release informations, you have all the change notes in the qtname_of_module/dist folder. The Qt wiki also provides pages for each release.

@SGaist
It turns out that I can't downgrade the current version of libssl-dev with the package management tool because 1.1.0 - minimal available version in repos. Ok, I tried to launch configure with -no-ssl
(./configure -static -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -no-ssl -opengl desktop -prefix /home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/static )
followed by make, but ...

loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins,

Note: No wayland-egl support detected. Cross-toolkit compatibility disabled.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/home/tikani/Qt5.9.1/5.9.1/static'.

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

SGaist

Like I wrote before Debian provides libssl1.0-dev in stretch for that kind of case.

When you modify the configure parameter you should first cleanup. In fact, you should rather do out of tree builds so if something goes wrong you can simply nuke the build folder or if you want to build with several different parameters set, you can just change to a new folder.

@SGaist said in Qt 5.9.1 static build Linux:

libssl1.0-dev

Hello @SGaist

Thank you for your reply.

I have exactly same problem and I am not able to install libssl1.0-dev using

apt-get install libssl1.0-dev

on my ubuntu machine. can you please inform me what can I do now ? Thanks :)
