    Yes, I added the -opengl desktop and then got this error:

    ERROR: Feature 'opengl-desktop' was enabled, but the pre-condition '(config.win32 && !config.winrt && !features.opengles2 && (config.msvc || libs.opengl))
                              || (!config.watchos && !config.win32 && !config.wasm && libs.opengl)' failed.
    
    ERROR: The OpenGL functionality tests failed!
    You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL[_ES2],
    QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL[_ES2] and QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL[_ES2] in the mkspec for your platform.
    

    I have no idea what to do about this.

    EDIT:

    No, I didn't run a clean command. Are you referring to a make clean, or to something to undo the configure command?

    yes something like clean as to be sure it start fresh over.
    Hmm its odd that !config.win32 failed as you did specify that.

      I need to return my attention to this issue. The problem at hand is this error when I run configure:

      WARNING: Using OpenGL ES 2.0 on Windows without ANGLE.
      The build will most likely fail.
      Specify -opengl desktop to use regular OpenGL.
      

      I I have my environment variable ANGLE_DIR set to C:\Qt\Static\src\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.12.3\qtbase\src\angle. assume that configure is looking for ANGLE source, correct? Or, do I need to build ANGLE libraries before invoking the configure command?

      Thanks...

        BTT.

        Can anyone please give me some guidance? I'm in need of static builds.

            @jsulm thanks. The PS script that page references is a bit out of date, so I made some changes to it, but it doesn't address the OpenGL error I'm getting on the configure step.

                Does it fail if you ignore the warning? I don't recall doing anything special when building Qt on windows (dynamic, but still).

                  @kshegunov yes it does fail. I get the impression there's some implicit set-up to be done for the Angle stuff, but it's not documented anywhere that I can find.

                    Here's an error message I'm getting during configure:

                    C:\Qt\Static\src\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3> configure -prefix C:\Qt\Static\src\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3\qt-build -static -static-runtime -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests

                    Either ensure that llvm-config is in your PATH environment variable, or set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the location of your llvm installation.
                    On Linux systems, you may be able to install libclang by installing the libclang-dev or libclang-devel package, depending on your distribution.
                    On macOS, you can use Homebrew's llvm package.
                    On Windows, you must set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the installation path.
                    
                    ERROR: Feature 'opengl-desktop' was enabled, but the pre-condition '(config.win32 && !config.winrt && !features.opengles2 && (config.msvc || libs.opengl))

                    Check config.log for details.
                    

                    So, I gather that I'm missing something related to OpenGL, but I really don't know what it might be.

                      Do you have the opengl dev headers (I think they're in the directx sdk)?

                        I didn't have DirectX installed. Now that I do, though, I don't see anything that looks like what you're talking about. None of the files listed here are in the DirectX directory.

                        I'm completely out of my element here -- do I need an Angle installation as well?

                          @mzimmers said in Issues Building Static Qt:

                          Did you by mistake install the redistributables? I was talking specifically about the SDK (software development kit). If I'm not mistaken it [the DX SDK] is also available through the Windows SDK.

                          I'm completely out of my element here -- do I need an Angle installation as well?

                          Honestly me too a bit. I think you don't, although I'm not completely certain. If I recall correctly Angle is a software implementation to substitute the GL. I hope someone's going to correct me if I'm wrong.

                            No, I installed the SDK -- went into this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010).

                            I did open a bug report for this (here) though I'm not sure that the assignee fully understands what's going on. I'm just amazed that more people aren't experiencing something similar.

                              UPDATE:

                              I got the configure (and make/make install) to run successfully. On a suggestion from the person handling the bug case I opened, I deleted my existing source base and re-extracted it. I then created a subdirectory for the build, went into that subdirectory and issued this command:

                              ..\configure -prefix C:\QtStatic\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.3 -platform win32-g++ -static -static-runtime -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests -recheck-all
                              

                              Then ran mingw32-make.

                              Both the wiki page on this topic, and the powershell script it references, are flawed. And the build process is a bit fragile: even by creating and using a shadow build, I somehow corrupted my source, causing the OpenGL red herring that was driving me crazy. A fresh extraction was the key, but a couple other points:

                              • do use the -platform switch when running configure
                              • -static and -static-runtime are both needed
                              • when in doubt, use the -recheck-all switch

                              Anyway, this hopefully closes out this nasty little chapter. Thanks to all involved; I'll be back eventually with some follow-up questions on creating standalone apps.
