Issue building qt 5.12 from latest git repo

code_fodder

So I am currently doing: perl init-repository --module-subset=essential

I had assumed that was just the equivalent of git submodule update --init --recurive

code_fodder

@SGaist ... damn, that did not compile still. Also in my out of source build folder I still can't find "QVector*" ... Is there some way to force the generation of QXXX files?

kshegunov

Would you try strawberry pearl? I imagine this is related to the link you posted (about msys) after all.

code_fodder

@kshegunov yes I would try that! - I was just about to try 5.12.1... but that is probably not the issue. I will go look for strawberry perl...

code_fodder

@kshegunov I assume (just downloading it) that you want me to run the perl init repo line again with strawberry perl?

code_fodder

So I just did the init repo with strawberry perl. it did stuff, but gave me a strange warning at the end. Anyway, I am continuing with the config / build...

Ok, so configured (statically as before without -no-pch) and hit make -j8... now the build has been going for far longer then before!

After the config I still could not see the QXXX files, but once the build started (its still going) I got:

D:\install\Qt\qt5_static_build>find -name "QVector*"
./qtbase/include/QtCore/QVector
./qtbase/include/QtCore/QVectorIterator
./qtbase/include/QtGui/QVector2D
./qtbase/include/QtGui/QVector3D
./qtbase/include/QtGui/QVector4D

So, this looks like the issue... what the difference its between the two perls - I have no idea! - but its looking very good at the moment. I think I can close this issue becuase the specific build error I had is gone (I may still have other troubles - but they can be in a new issue if required).

Guys @SGaist @kshegunov - you have both been great - can't upvote enough...

code_fodder

btw - I did get another error few minutes later... but I have a few things I can try (its another file that can't be found) but if I struggle I will start a bew post! - setting this as resovled

code_fodder

err.... actually one last one - I forgot how you set the question to "resovled" - I am sure it used to be a tag in the heading...?

code_fodder

@code_fodder found it!....
