Qt Static build, issue with QtCreator (related to ABI detection)
-
Hi ,
I just tried my first installation test of Qt Static. (I am porting current .NET project to Qt+Qml).
what I did was Qt Static under MinGW with OpenSSL butWhen I added the Qt static to Qtcreator , it reported ABI detection failed !!!!
I did an other compilation with Older release as described in => "How to build a static Qt version for Windows with GCC":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_build_a_static_Qt_version_for_Windows_with_gccI compiled QtCreator latest from Gitorious , when I opened the Qt Creator from CMD (Command Prompt) , i saw this error message that is the reason that ABI was unable to be detected by the Qt version.
C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.8\creator\bin>qtcreator.exe
Warning: Could not find ABI for 'c:/qtsdk/desktop/qt/4.7.4/mingw-static/mkspecs/
win32-g++' ('Qt 4.7.4 for Desktop - MinGW 4.4 static', c:/qtsdk/desktop/qt/4.7.
4/mingw-static/bin/qmake.exe)/g++ by looking at C:/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.7.4/mingw-
static/lib/libQtCore.a:Qt Creator does not know about the system includes, nor t
he system defines.it does not look like a bug in QtCreator , it is my mistake...
this is my configuration steps :
Qt 4.7.4 (downloaded by Git from qt.gitorious.org from branch/4.7)
copied to c:/qtsdk/desktop/qt/4.7.4/mingw-static (where also I have shared version installed successfully in a different directory called 4.7.4/mingw )
PATH=> %QTDIR%=c:/qtsdk/desktop/qt/4.7.4/mingw-static
set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++
set MINGW=C:\MinGW
set OPENSSL=C:\OpenSSL
set INCLUDE=%OPENSSL%\include;%MINGW%\include
set LIB=%OPENSSL%\lib;%MINGW%\lib
set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%OPENSSL%\bin;%MINGW%\bin;%PATH%.... and so on based on the page i mentioned.
Need help thanks in advance.

Is there a file called C:/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.7.4/mingw-static/lib/libQtCore.a? If so, can you please mail it to me (via profile page)?
Maybe my ABI detection goes astray.

I got at least a working copy of Static build based on 4.7.4 on MSVC2008 with following CONFIG:
@set QTDIR=.....
set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2008
set OPENSSL=C:\OpenSSL
set INCLUDE=%OPENSSL%\include;%INCLUDE%
set LIB=%OPENSSL%\lib;%LIB%
set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%OPENSSL%\bin;%PATH%also , I changed CFLAGS
@QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -O1 -MT
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG = -Zi -MTd@configure.exe -static -opensource -platform win32-msvc2008 -nomake examples -nomake demos
../jom/jom.exe -j 4@but new problem occurred. now the ABI is "x86-windows-unknown-pe-32bit" !!!!!!!!
- where i made a mistake or what do you think ?*
the system is unable to locate a correct toolchain... in Qt Creator

Thanks to "Tobias Hunger: for his solution as mentioned in the "Qt Reported Bug 4771":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4771
just need to copy QtCore*.dll for now. thanks for his help and support

Satmosc: That is not a solution, that is a workaround:-)
The solution is in Qt Creator's master branch now. I am trying to get that merged back into the Qt Creator 2.2 branch so it will be in 2.2.1 if we decide to release one.

Thank you for taking the time needed to do good bug reports and to follow up on them. Without that the issue would still be in creator.

Thank you very much. time is not important. as a Certified MS developer on .net platform , I found Qt much better platform than all I have used till now. it is fast and also if you get trouble , it is not like MS developer channels where you should wait for several months to year for a service pack (specially I had issue with Anti Aliasing in .NET that at last it came to play in XAML on .NET 4 platform where .NET was 4 times slower than same project with more effects on QML.(even if QML has a long road to go , but it works as expected much more better than XAML)....
By the way , I still have problems , but I am sure it is because of my knowledge and it is great that we can get update or fix , or add our own ...

I split your new debugging helper issue of into "this thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5724/ . It is a very different issue and I want the new issue to be more visible.
Unfortunately the new topic is not really my area of expertise:-(

@Tobias :: I think we need to reopen QTCREATORBUG-4771 because the latest SDK 2.2 version and also GIT all branches again have same Issue again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember you fixed it , I just updated my GIt version and I found that in new Git updates and all other branches again we have the same issue and we need to copy Core*.dll files to fix the issue.should I reopen the 4771 ? my current QtCreator is 2.2.81 (master from GIT)
Thanks and kind Regards,

Feel free to open a new bug or reopen an existing one:-)
