    Where did you get Qt's sources from ?

    Hi @SGaist, I got them from here: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.15/5.15.2/single/qt-everywhere-src-5.15.2.zip

      Your error looks odd.

      I would nuke that build and extract the sources again.

      Also, please use an out of source build so you don't pollute the source tree and can restart more easily.

        Hi @SGaist, ok, I will build it again, but what do you mean by "please use an out of source build so you don't pollute the source tree and can restart more easily"?

          Literally what is written: call configure from a folder outside of the sources.

              @SGaist ok, but how do I call configure from a folder that doesn't have the configure.bat file?

                By providing path to it? Either relative to your build folder or absolute path:

                ../QT_SRC_FOLDER/configure

                    Hi, so I built it again, and got the same error. The error is from QLocation, to on configure can I use "-nomake qlocation", or something like that? Also, the build takes about 10 hours, so that's why I'm responding after a very long time.

                      @Sucharek Call "configure -h" (or --help) to get the list of parameters it understands.

                        Hi @jsulm, ok I'll try that. Also, I ran the mingw32-make with -i (ignore errors), and it just ignored the qlocation errors, and don't see any more of them. I don't need QLocation, so it's fine if I don't have it. If it wouldn't work, I'll try the -configure myself to see if I can clear some more thing out. After the compile is done, I'll update you if I have any more issues.

                          Hi, so it actually proceeded to build in install, but when I add it in Qt versions in Qt creator, it says "No QML utility installed".
                          EDIT: The only error was the QLocation

                            Hi, so I ran the installation with my own command, which took about 40 hours, installed it, but got the same error in Qt Creator. No QML utility installed. Do I need to run something else, not "mingw32-make install"?

                              I don't know what QML utility. Does it work? I mean: can you build your apps using this Qt installation?

                                Hi @jsulm, when I include the static installation in Qt Creator, it says the No QML utility installed, and it doesn't let me build it from it.

                                  Hi, I've discovered a new thing. So when I initialize the static Qt version in Qt Creator, it still says "No QML utility installed", but when I add it as a kit, it works, builds, but it's not static. It needs the dlls. I don't know if it's the QML thing or something. Here's the config command I used:

                                  C:\Qt\pre-static\configure -release -opensource -static -skip qt3d -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtgamepad -skip qtcharts -skip qtlocation -skip qtlottie -skip qtmacextras -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtquick3d -skip qtspeech -skip qttranslations -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebglplugin -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtconnectivity -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake tools -accessibility -platform win32-g++ -confirm-license -opengl desktop -prefix C:\Qt\5.15.2-static

                                    Hi, so I've found another thing. I open up dependencies to look for the dll files that need to be added, and the only ones are not the "critical" Qt files. I only need to add 3, but that still doesn't make it standalone. Do I need to type in something else when I'm configuring the installation?
