I guess you might have run into the same problem:

I have tried to cross-compile the complete source of Qt 5.12.0 from archives, which did you cross-compile?

I saw that you actually skip wayland, which is my reason for trying Qt 5.12.0. I still have issues using openGL on raspberry pi3 and I thought that I can fix only with latest Qt 5.12. Did you get as far yet?

Ok, thank You so much.
I will try to do it, tomorrow.

Thank you for the welcome and clarification, SGaist!

It wasn't immediately apparent to me that I actually needed the Qt Creator sources to create a plugin for the IDE. Fortunately I got some good advice from a project team member of mine on the steps of solving the problem. I downloaded the sources, compiled them and finally made a copy of the build directory. This way I got the two instances of Qt Creator needed for development and testing. All is as it should now.

Well knowing windows searching, i always cheat and use
https://www.voidtools.com/
On NTFS drives, it will find anything really fast and takes wildcards.
Its only for filenames but on the other hand, it finds a file in secs even on a 4 TB drive. :)

@SGaist thank you for that! That took care of the qtquickcontrols2. Now I just have a hand full of other modules I need to build and install, according to these errors:

/Live3DWidget.qml:4 module "QtQuick.Scene3D" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:9 module "Qt3D.Extras" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:7 module "Qt3D.Render" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:6 module "Qt3D.Core" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:8 module "Qt3D.Input" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:4 module "QtQuick.Scene3D" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:9 module "Qt3D.Extras" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:7 module "Qt3D.Render" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:6 module "Qt3D.Core" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:8 module "Qt3D.Input" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:4 module "QtQuick.Scene3D" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:9 module "Qt3D.Extras" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:7 module "Qt3D.Render" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:6 module "Qt3D.Core" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:8 module "Qt3D.Input" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:4 module "QtQuick.Scene3D" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:9 module "Qt3D.Extras" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:7 module "Qt3D.Render" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:6 module "Qt3D.Core" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:8 module "Qt3D.Input" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:4 module "QtQuick.Scene3D" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:9 module "Qt3D.Extras" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:7 module "Qt3D.Render" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:6 module "Qt3D.Core" is not installed /Live3DWidget.qml:8 module "Qt3D.Input" is not installed

I will try to install relevant modules and try again. Will report back.

You have here a list of the modules and their state.

QtWebkit as been deprecated and removed.
QtQuick1 as been deprecated and removed

You can still build them from sources but you have to clone them specifically.

Looks like you built the qtscript module successfully, that's why I'm asking whether you ran make install before trying to build the example.

@Mark81 Yes both the Hello World and content of the variable were shown. Again it's on OS X with a recent version of bash.

Hi @JKSH, @Leonardo,

Many thanks for your tips and apologies for delay. I got distracted by another task, but will get back to this one again.

Just to report what happened so far. All my attempts on one machine failed. Switching to another computer I managed to to statically build Qt and Qt Creator once (using your receipts), but failed to reproduce that again. I'm putting all this down to my inexperience on Windows platform. However, I have learnt a lot and I'll get back to this problem again.

BTW, working with VS is not as scary as it originally looked :-). Once I managed to install it, that is. The installation of VS was a pain as due to my inexperience and some bugs. E.g. installing VS via RDC produces a transparent window - I waiting for hours for something to happen, then tried another version of VS, ...

Best,
J.

Oh well, I had a typo in my config path, sorry !
Configure and make work well now!

cheers
