Ubuntu compile Qt failed

Hi,
I am trying to compile Qt on Ubantu , following This blog. However, I am getting the error below. Could anyone help me out?
../../include/QtCore/5.13.0/QtCore/private/../../../../../src/corelib/tools/qsimd_p.h:196:14: fatal error: 'x86intrin.h' file not found

Hi and welcome to devnet forum

Any particular reason to compile Qt5.13.alpha?
5.13 alpha is as called an alpha release. It is still some time until it will be released. Therefore it is recommended to use Qt5.12.1 as the last pre-built release.

Thanks for your reply~ I am trying to use qt web assembly , I tried 5.12, also the same error

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What compiler are you using ?

@SGaist Hi，thanks for your reply. I am using emcc. And the information of emcc can be found below:

Hi guys! I want to join you conversation because I have the same problem.

So I will start from the beginning.
I tried to compile just created(with help of Qt Creator) untouched GUI project. I cd to project directory and run /path/to/qt/install/dir/5.13.0/wasm_32/bin/qmake qtwindow.pro(emsdk was activated before source /path/to/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh). Then make and here I dot errors:

error: undefined symbol: _ZNSt3__212basic_stringIcNS_11char_traitsIcEENS_9allocatorIcEEE6appendEPKcj
error: undefined symbol: _Znaj
error: undefined symbol: _Znwj
error: undefined symbol: _ZnwjRKSt9nothrow_t

First I tried to solve them but without any luck. Digging in the internet make me think that "may be problem in QT, maybe it was compiled with most recent libs or something". So I decided to compile QT from source. I followed instructions in https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/11/19/getting-started-qt-webassembly/ but stuck on step make module-qtbase module-qtdeclarative with next error:

em++ -c -pipe -O3 -Oz -std=c++1z -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 -Wall -W -Wdate-time -Winconsistent-missing-override -DQT_NO_USING_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_FOREACH -DQT_NO_NARROWING_CONVERSIONS_IN_CONNECT -DQT_BUILD_CORE_LIB -DQT_BUILDING_QT -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_ASCII_CAST_WARNINGS -DQT_MOC_COMPAT -DQT_USE_QSTRINGBUILDER -DQT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS -DQT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x050000 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DPCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH=16 -I. -I../3rdparty/zlib/src -Iglobal -I../3rdparty/harfbuzz/src -I../3rdparty/md5 -I../3rdparty/md4 -I../3rdparty/sha3 -I../3rdparty -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include/double-conversion -I../3rdparty/forkfd -I../3rdparty/tinycbor/src -I../../include -I../../include/QtCore -I../../include/QtCore/5.13.0 -I../../include/QtCore/5.13.0/QtCore -I.moc -I.tracegen -I../3rdparty/pcre2/src -I../../mkspecs/wasm-emscripten -o .obj/qendian.o global/qendian.cpp

I tried to edit qtbase/src/corelib/Makefile and add next paths to em++(-I option)

locate x86intrin.h
/home/codepriest/Android/Sdk/build-tools/26.0.2/renderscript/clang-include/x86intrin.h
/home/codepriest/Android/Sdk/build-tools/27.0.3/renderscript/clang-include/x86intrin.h
/home/codepriest/Works/playground/emsdk/clang/fastcomp/build_incoming_64/lib/clang/6.0.1/include/x86intrin.h
/home/codepriest/Works/playground/emsdk/clang/fastcomp/src/tools/clang/lib/Headers/x86intrin.h
/srv/big-data/qt/Tools/QtCreator/libexec/qtcreator/clang/lib/clang/7.0.0/include/x86intrin.h
/usr/lib64/clang/4.0.1/include/x86intrin.h
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/include/x86intrin.h
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/8/include/x86intrin.h

It solve problem with missing x86intrin.h(and other libs) but it start to complain on content of this headers, it look like it is not compatible with QT or emscripten or something like that(if it important I can reproduce this error).

Thanks in advance.

I suggest asking on interest Qt mailing list - the devs behind wasm hang out there, they might be able to help.

codepriest

How we can ask them? Can you share email address or something?

I have exactly the same issue. Where is this header coming from?

corelib/tools/qsimd_p.h:196:14: fatal error: 'x86intrin.h' file not found

strahlex

I have the same problem as well on Ubuntu Bionic. The include file should come from clang includes.

strahlex

Got an answer from the mailing list: Use the latest version from the git 5.13 branch. With this hint I got it working on Ubuntu.

Sorry, I didn't realize there were people actually using it and posting issues here. :)

I use Fedora 29 kernel 5 for the OS, Qt 5.12.3 from source and Ryzen for processor. Just remove or comment some line of codes from the file
~/[QT Source Directory]/qtbase/src/corelib/tools/qsimd_p.h

find " include <x86intrin.h>"
this from my file:

#  if defined(Q_CC_GNU) && !defined(Q_CC_INTEL)
// GCC 4.4 and Clang 2.8 added a few more intrinsics there
#    include <x86intrin.h>
#  endif

after change:

/*
#  if defined(Q_CC_GNU) && !defined(Q_CC_INTEL)
// GCC 4.4 and Clang 2.8 added a few more intrinsics there
#    include <x86intrin.h>
#  endif
*/

and everything work fine now.
Sorry for my language :)
