Qt Creator 6.0.1 and Qt 6.2.2 running on Windows 7
-
Qt 6.8.0 is also back-ported to Windows 7/8
https://github.com/crystalidea/qt6windows7@crystalbit Sorry for asking. I am trying to compile qt dll myself on Windows 8.1.
I have to use Visual Studio Build Tools 2022 17.6 instead of Visual Studio Community Edition 2022 since it's not available anymore on microsoft.com. I had to change PATH in compile_win.bat as vcvarsall.bat is in different folder. I get errors: mv, rm, perl is not an internal or external command.
I have Strawberry Perl installed. -
At least for me it's available at the usual address: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

@hskoglund Latest one is incompatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1.

Indeed. previous versions of Visual Studio 2022 worked on Windows 7, you got a warning when you installed but you could proceed anyway, but now you get an error instead :-(
You can still download Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition from here: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vs_community.exe -

@5taras If I understand correctly I need gnuwin32 package to run mv, rm commands from compile_win.bat which is missing in qt-build-tools folder from github. In script I see "SET PATH %ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin;"

I'm using the scoop package manager (https://scoop.sh/) to install Linux tools on Windows. I believe just installing scoop already gives you these basic commands. Another alternative is Chocolatey.

@SimonSchroeder Did you try to compile qt library yourself? Scoop package manager creates folder "%ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin"?

@5taras I've only ever compiled static Qt libraries for Windows with MSVC. Scoop does not provide "%ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin", but it provides commands like
mvandrm. It also adapts thePATHenvironment variable such that these tools are available on any command line. -

@SimonSchroeder During compilation I get a mistake "../configure is not an internal or external command". 6.x qt-build-tools folders from github are missing configure.bat file. What can I do?
I found https://github.com/crystalidea/qt-build-tools/blob/master/5.6.3/qtbase/configure.bat file which could be useful. I am not sure. -
