    Building Qt5.11.3 from sources under MSVC 2017 64bit looks ok except for QtWebEngine

    NMAKE: fatal error U1073 do not know how to make QtWebEngineCore.stamp
    

    Building is done through x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for MSVS 2017 using a bat file with general configure and jom

    configure -confirm-license -release -nomake examples -nomake tests -openssl -opensource -platform win32-msvc2017 -prefix C:\Qt\5.11.3-x64 -I C:\openssl\1.1.1b\include -L C:\openssl\1.1.1b\lib
    

    Any help is appreciated
    Chromium? Ninja? What to check?

      I returned to the problem, called qmake directly for qtwebengine and got the following:

      ...
      [1/1] Regenerating ninja files
      ...
      [1/1] Regenerating ninja files
      ninja: error: manifest 'build.ninja' still dirty after 100 tries
      
      Command '[ 'C:/temp/qt-build/build_qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/ninja/ninja.exe', '-C', 'C:\\temp\\qt-build\\build_qtwebengine\\src\\3rdparty\\chromium\\tools\\gn\\out\\Release',  '-w', 'dupbuilder=err', 'gn']' returned non-zero exit status 1
      Building gn manually in a temporary directory  for bootstrapping...

      jom: C:\temp\qt-build\build_qtwebengine\Makefile [sub-src-make_first] Error 2
      
      

      Does it tell more now?

        going into qtwebengine directory and calling jom results on ninja stopping build afer some step

        ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

          @nest_kds said in Qt5.11.3 build fails for QtWebEngine on MSVC 2017 64bit:

          ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed

          What's before this line (there should be actual error)?

              Now, I'm more than sure that this is all about not enough memory on my HDD.
              Is there an official requirement for free disk space needed for building QtWebEngine that I missed somewhere?

                not enough memory on my HDD

                :) It probably doesn't say anywhere. You could try telling us how much disk free space you do have: if it's 100K it won't be enough, and if it's 100MB [100GB!!] it will be! You could even tell us how much memory you have.

                ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

                Try ninja -v for verbose output.

                  Here it is: I had had about 21 Gb of free memory and when the error happened the free memory was less than 100 M.

                    Hi,

                    From the Chromium build on Windows instruction page:

                    System requirements
                    
                    A 64-bit Intel machine with at least 8GB of RAM. More than 16GB is highly recommended.
                    At least 100GB of free disk space on an NTFS-formatted hard drive. FAT32 will not work, as some of the Git packfiles are larger than 4GB.
                    An appropriate version of Visual Studio, as described below.
                    Windows 7 or newer.
                    

                    While you should not be worried about the git related stuff, the free disk space is likely to apply.

                          @SGaist Thanks for the confirmation of my guess.
                          Will try to free another 100Gb and give it another try again

                            The error stays on. Even with 100Gb of free space

                              So, 1st pass was NOK (configure plus jom and install)
                              Second pass (jom plus install) worked!!!
                              Don't know whether it is due or against Notre Dame de Paris (((
