Qt6 Static Building (Windows, MinGW)

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you doing an out of source build ?
Is it done from the source tarballs ?

SteveStage

@SGaist,
Yes, it's out-of-source build.
I downloaded sources from there as it's faster and easier than cloning git repository. However, before I tried with copying from git repo and then run configure.bat (after init-repository of course), but result was the same.

SGaist

It does not look like a real out of source build (or a clean one for that matter).

I would nuke the sources, re-decompress from the archive and then create a build dir completely out of the sources.

Yes, zips from archive are very good, they make building Qt easier (IMO).

For your error, I think passing -qt-zlib to configure should help. Check out configure -help for more libraries which you can automatically "bake into" your static Qt build.

SteveStage

@sierdzio,
It didn't help (nothing changed).

SGaist

Are you still getting the syncqt error ?

SteveStage

Yes, I do.

SGaist

Can you find syncqt and run it manually to see if you get something out of it ?

SteveStage

Yes, but why? Which arguments I'm supposed to run syncqt with?

Single zips don't need syncqt at all. Only configure, compile, install.

Here's my recommendation:

extract your sources to directory qt-everywhere-src-6.5.1
make directories: 6.5.1, 6.5.1-build
cd into 6.5.1-build
now run ../qt-everywhere-src-6.5.1/configure.bat -prefix "../6.5.1" -static -static-runtime -no-openssl -schannel -c++std c++20 -dbus-runtime -no-icu -no-glib -qt-doubleconversion -qt-pcre -qt-zlib -qt-freetype -qt-harfbuzz -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-sqlite -qt-tiff -qt-webp -confirm-license -release -nomake examples -nomake tests
*cmake --build . --parallel
cmake --install
done :-)

After it is ready you can remove directories 6.5.1-build and qt-everywhere-src-6.5.1. Your Qt is fully contained in 6.5.1.

If you need to recompile, or run configure again - remove 6.5.1-build, make it anew, cd into it, and repeat. This way you always have 100% clean build environment.

The lines I pasted above were tested just a few days ago with Qt 6.4.3 and MSVC 2022. Since you are using MinGW some flags may need to be different.

Also recommended: skip modules you don't need, for example: -skip qtcoap -skip qtopcua -skip qtscxml -skip qtwebengine -skip qt3d -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtlanguageserver -skip qtpositioning -skip qtsensors -skip qt5compat -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtlottie -skip qtquick3d -skip qtserialbus -skip qtwebview -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtquick3dphysics -skip qtserialport -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtwayland -skip qtcharts -skip qthttpserver -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtspeech -skip qtwebchannel. You need to add this to configure line.

SteveStage

I did just like you said, but result is the same...

What am I doing wrong?

sierdzio

@SteveStage And for sources, you took .zip or .tar.xz? The zip has Windows line endings, maybe that has something to do with it.

If not, I'd try a different Qt version, like 6.5.0 or 6.4.3 maybe there is a bug in 6.5.1?

SteveStage

I tried sources from .tar.xz, and tried 6.5.0, but nothing changed. I have feeling that it's not because of version but because of my pc. May it be that my environment variables are wrong?

^ Variable PATH.

hskoglund

Hi I don't see any Python or Perl in your environment settings, did you install them.
Perl is optional for building Qt 6.5.x but Python is still needed.

SteveStage

$ python -h
usage: C:\Users\thest\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe [option
] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Options (and corresponding environment variables):
-b     : issue warnings about str(bytes_instance), str(bytearray_instance)
         and comparing bytes/bytearray with str. (-bb: issue errors)
-B     : don't write .pyc files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x
-c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list)
-d     : turn on parser debugging output (for experts only, only works on
         debug builds); also PYTHONDEBUG=x
-E     : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH)
-h     : print this help message and exit (also -? or --help)
-i     : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
         if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
-I     : isolate Python from the user's environment (implies -E and -s)
-m mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list)
-O     : remove assert and __debug__-dependent statements; add .opt-1 before
         .pyc extension; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x
-OO    : do -O changes and also discard docstrings; add .opt-2 before
         .pyc extension
-P     : don't prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path
-q     : don't print version and copyright messages on interactive startup
-s     : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE
-S     : don't imply 'import site' on initialization
-u     : force the stdout and stderr streams to be unbuffered;
         this option has no effect on stdin; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x
-v     : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
         can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
-V     : print the Python version number and exit (also --version)
         when given twice, print more information about the build
-W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno
         also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg
-x     : skip first line of source, allowing use of non-Unix forms of #!cmd
-X opt : set implementation-specific option
--check-hash-based-pycs always|default|never:
         control how Python invalidates hash-based .pyc files
--help-env      : print help about Python environment variables and exit
--help-xoptions : print help about implementation-specific -X options and exit
--help-all      : print complete help information and exit
Arguments:
file   : program read from script file
-      : program read from stdin (default; interactive mode if a tty)
arg ...: arguments passed to program in sys.argv[1:]

I guess it is?

hskoglund

The command shell you are using, it has a prompt "$" is it PowerShell or MSys or?
If it's not CMD: best is if you do the Qt build from a CMD window (i.e. the ancient CMD.EXE)
Also, if you start a CMD window, does python -h still work in it?

SteveStage

It is MSYS2.
I just tried it from PowerShell and I finally got something other than with Git Bash.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'cmake --build . --parallel'

Once everything is built, you must run 'cmake --install .'
Qt will be installed into 'D:/Desktop/qt-w/6.5.1'

To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script:
        D:/Desktop/qt-w/6.5.1/bin/qt-configure-module.bat

If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory
Alternatively, you can add the --fresh flag to your CMake flags.

I got another error...

@SteveStage I've been struggling on and off with this for years. I currently have a couple open bug reports on this topic, so TQC at least is aware of the problem(s). I don't have an answer for you, but a couple things:

don't use git bash for your build. A command terminal is best, but PowerShell should work, too.
when you initialize the repository (prior to your configure command), disable qtwebengine:

perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebengine

This will speed up your builds, plus you can't build QtWebEngine statically (probably because it would result in enormous executables).

this is the command that most recently worked for me, though it doesn't now:

configure.bat -opensource -confirm-license -static -static-runtime -release -platform win32-g++ -opengl desktop -skip qtwebengine -nomake examples -nomake tests -Wno-dev -prefix c:\qt\6.5.1_static

Good luck...
