Unable to build static version of Qt 5.15.2
-
Ok, it looked like an error from MSVC and you did not tell us before what OS and compiler you're using.
What gcc version doe you use?
/edit: maybe this is your problem: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/330713
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher
gcc (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1) 11.2.0 -
So apply the patch in my links since it's for gcc11 and up.
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher Will try and report back. Thanks!
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher I have never applied a patch and not sure how to do that. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?
-
Manually adding two include statements in two files shouldn't be that hard
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher Yep. I figured as much after I asked. So that is done and it seemed to get further in the compilation but I'm still getting errors:

As you can see the compiler complains again about numeric_limits so add this include there too.
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher Added
#include <limits>toqbytearraymatcher.hand it worked. Thanks for your help! Just getting into Qt and definitely feeling the learning curve. -
@robertwilliamallen It works,good job!!!

C Christian Ehrlicher referenced this topic on
-
@robertwilliamallen thanks
-
I am using Qt5.12.6 and I was getting the same error. While attempting this solution I noticed that qglobal.h is included in all these files mentioned, so I added limits include to the __cplusplus check like this and it worked:
#ifdef __cplusplus # include <type_traits> # include <limits> # include <cstddef> # include <utility> #endif -
@Christian-Ehrlicher Hello,
is there anywhere we can ask for the files to be updated? the ones in the https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.15/5.15.2/single/
still have this issue I struggled to compile it until I found this post by chance.... would be great to rectify this for other future people out there.... -
@otaolafr Hi,
If you are building from source anyway, you should download a more recent version such as 5.15.11. See the content of the 5.15 releases folder.
