Problem while building qtbase
-
Hello guys,
I'm trying to get things going, but had a problem I couldn't fix. In order to build all libraries, inside Qt\5.4\Src I did a qmake, followed by a mingw32-make. Many problems with ICU happened, but I was able to fix them all. The persisting problems are with the network bit of qtbase. It presents many compilation errors and the build fails.
Do you guys know how to fix it? -
Don't make a developer build.
Also, update Qt to a newer version is you only can. Current LTS release is Qt 5.9.

make a develope
Hi @sierdzio , thanks for your reply. Why shouldn't I make a developer build? I need to use a library, called qthttp (which is almost impossible to find online, so I'm using a legacy version I have), but it does not get recognized by the Qt project. I thought a complete build, of all the libraries, would solve it. Do you have any suggestions/instructions on how to proceed?
I'll update it ASAP.

A developer build is for people that develop Qt itself. It has several restrictions and therefore should not be used by an end user.

@aha_1980 , got it, thanks! Do you have any insight on what could I do in order to be able to use the qthttp library? I've searched the web for weeks on end, and found nothing.
@br_developer How do you use qthttp library? Can you show your pro file? Is it built using same compiler you use?

What do you actually want to do with this library?
called qthttp (which is almost impossible to find online, so I'm using a legacy version I have)
You are aware of the problems that can occur when using legacy code (and I'd call Qt 5.4 legacy too) in security-relevant environments?
but it does not get recognized by the Qt project.
Can you elaborate on this? "does not get recognized" is a bit vague and most likely technically incorrect.
So:
- what did you actually do?
- what did you expect to happen?
- what did happen instead?
Regards
