Hi,I want to build GammaRay from source on windows with MinGW;
when execute mingw32-make command I get the error below:

@jsulm it is not the same question with "https://forum.qt.io/topic/109494/gammaray-build-error-on-windows10-with-microsoft-visual-studio";
one is windows10 with MinGW and the other is windows10 with Mirosoft-visual-studio;

VRonin

can you show us the cmake call and its output?

@VRonin
Thank you!
The cmake call and its output is as follow:

I just tried and it builds fine for me.
make sure you run qtenv2.bat (you can find it somwhere like C:\Qt\5.13.2\mingw73_64\bin\qtenv2.bat) before calling cmake on the command line

sz_y

@VRonin Thank you very much.
I have builed sucessfully followed your sugestion.
But,I have meet other problems as below:
After the commiand line "mingw32-make install" complete, I can find the executed program of gammaray in the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\GammaRay\bin".Howevery,I cann't find it in start menu; I must run it
by command line and make sure had run qtenv2.bat before run gammaray.

This is something an installer does. Without installer you will need to do it by yourself.

I cann't find it in start menu;

Just create a shortcut to C:\Program Files (x86)\GammaRay\bin\gammaray-launcher.exe into %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

I must run it by command line and make sure had run qtenv2.bat before run gammaray.

No but make install usually doesn't deploy the dependencies. If you try to start gammaray-launcher.exe it will tell you there are some dlls missing but you can copy them to the folder from either the Qt bin folder or the mingw folder. The only thing that is not straightforward is the platform plugin: create a subfolder inside C:\Program Files (x86)\GammaRay\bin and call it platforms then copy in there the qwindows.dll that you can find in the Qt folder \plugins\platforms

sz_y

@VRonin Thank you very much!
I have copy the dll file to GammaRay\bin.
But ,when I run gammaray D:\qt_demo\build-123-Desktop_Qt_5_12_3_MinGW_64_bit-Release\release\123.exe I get the followed
information:
Detected ABI qt5_12-GNU-x86_64, using ABI qt5_12-GNU-x86_64.

I have create a shortcut following your suggestion.

I also resolve this problem by add C:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\5.12.3\mingw73_64\bin in the system varialble of path.
Thank you!

This is not a great solution. If you change Qt Version, compiler or architecture you end up in a pickle
