How to get docs into prefix build [5.12] [win32-g++]

namezero111111

Dear folks,

I am trying to build Qt 5.12 with documentation and examples for MinGW Windows, but am despairing because the output directory does not contain the "doc" folder content.

Here is how it is being built:

REM NOTE: src32 path was used in 5.12 because of a gcc compiler bug that prevented compilation on x86 in qrandom.cpp

set SOURCES=D:\temp\src32
set OUTPUT=D:\Libs\qt\5.12\mingw64\x86

set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\LLVM
set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw_w64_posix_sjlj_8_1_0\bin;%LLVM_INSTALL_DIR%\bin;%PATH%


SET PATH="C:\Python34_x64";%PATH%
SET PATH="C:\Perl64\bin";%PATH%

mkdir "%OUTPUT%"
cd /D "%SOURCES%"
mingw32-make.exe distclean
CALL "configure.bat" -prefix "%OUTPUT%" -debug-and-release -platform win32-g++ -opensource -confirm-license -opengl desktop -skip qtwebengine -sql-mysql -sql-psql -sql-odbc -sql-oci MYSQL_INCDIR="D:\Dependencies\mysql-x86\include" MYSQL_LIBDIR="D:\Dependencies\mysql-x86\lib" OCI_INCDIR="D:\Dependencies\oci-x86\instantclient_18_5\sdk\include" OCI_LIBDIR="D:\Dependencies\oci-x86\instantclient_18_5\sdk\lib\msvc" OCI_PREFIX="D:\Dependencies\oci-x86\instantclient_18_5\sdk" PSQL_INCDIR="D:\Dependencies\psql-x86\pgsql\include" PSQL_LIBDIR="D:\Dependencies\psql-x86\pgsql\lib"
REM -recheck-all Option to recheck for headers

mingw32-make.exe -j 4
mingw32-make.exe -j 4 module-qttools
mingw32-make.exe -j 4 docs
mingw32-make.exe -j 4 install

Now, the src32\qtbase\doc directory contains data: qch files, but the output (prefix/install) directory "doc" subfolder only contains a "global" folder.

Any ideas / am I missing something not described in https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_Documentation ?

It seems like

make install_docs

does the trick, but where is this mentioned in the build documentation???

I guess it is here:
"Shadow builds

For shadow builds, the source directory and install directories are different and the global templates need to be moved to the install directories. To do so, run:

cd qtbase
make install_global_docs
