Running example 'widgets\graphicsview\boxes' under windows7, needs '-opengl desktop' error
-
I will try the configure with -nomake tests and then run mingw32-make and see what happens. Do i need to revert anything before i run configure and mingw32-make again? BTW thank you for taking the time to help me out here. Highly appreciated.

You should start from clean state. Best is to use out of source builds.

OK. So i now created a 'build' folder. Opened a console in that folder and called configure.bat from there. This is the configure.log file:
Command line: -prefix d:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\build -opengl desktop -nomake tests
I do have a configure.log file.... but i cannot upload it and its toolong to post in toto.
There are a couple of configure tests that fail:executing config test alloca_h
- cd /d D:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\build\config.tests\alloca_h && D:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\build\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe "CONFIG -= qt debug_and_release app_bundle lib_bundle" "CONFIG += shared warn_off console single_arch" D:/Qt/Qt5.12.3/build/config.tests/alloca_h

@TopDoozer Failing tests are normal. The question is: is any feature you need disabled because of failing tests? If not then just build.
-
@jsulm are you suggesting, that build might fail if i try to run it with a feature that might not have passed the configure test (running nmake right now but expecting it to fail again)?
@TopDoozer No, it should not fail, but some features will not be built.

Tried something else again. went and ran configure in the source directory (Command line: -prefix d:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\build2 -opengl desktop -nomake tests -nomake examples). Then i ran mingw32-make in the Source folder. Thats what i got:
Anyone any idea, what the hell is going on here? I am starting to think Qt might not be worth it anymore trying to get back into, which would be fine crying shame!

@TopDoozer Which version of MinGW do you use to compile?
