Hi,
What version of Qt ?
On what version of Windows ?
Where are you calling configure from ?One thing you can do if you don't want to build a module is to move its folder outside the sources you want to use to build.
-
@SGaist qt 4.8.6 windows 10, calling in call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86
One thing you can do if you don't want to build a module is to move its folder outside the sources you want to use to build. // I dont understand this, where take folder and which folder?
-
There's an issue here, you give a prefix which contains "qt5" in its name and now you write that you are building Qt 4.8.6. So which version are you building ? The -skip option is valid only for Qt 5 and the QtWebEngine module is not available in Qt 4.
Note also that Qt 4's latest release is 4.8.7 but at the same time it has reached end of life a long time ago.
So what is you current exact situation ?

As written, the folder of the module you do not want to build. As for where, that's up to you, just outside the Qt sources you want to build.

Ok I understand, I take version 5.13.2 but in this version I cant see configure file? Where is he?
-

In the Qt source code. Did you install Qt source code?
-
@jsulm Sorry but I am begginer in this topic. I cant see difference between qt, qtcreator and qt source code. I install version from qt.io 5.13.2 and next i should copy https://github.com/qt/qtbase to qt folder this?
-
First thing: why do you want to build Qt ?
As for the source code, if you have a precise version in mind, you can use the MaintenanceTool to download the version you want.
Otherwise, get the code from https://code.qt.io
-
@SGaist I must do that because I must to do a project to school and I have this in manual. It must be in 100%. I dont understand one thing because when I install version 5.13.2 I cant see configure file, I clone repo: https://github.com/qt/qtbase and made operation on this:
cd c:\newlib\qt\5.13.2
call "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x86
configure -prefix c:\newlib\qt5 -debug-and-release -mp -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebengine -platform win32-msvc2017
set CL=/MP
jom
jom install -
What must be 100% ?
-
manual which I paste in last post
-
My question is what is the point of building Qt for your project ?
Is there any feature not available in the pre-built version that you need to enable ? -
@SGaist It is difficult to say because i must do a job which i get for my friend and he gives me a manual and i repeat a step. When I give you manual on priv can you help me how to do this step by step because i made it 8 hours and i have bugs.
-
Like I already wrote, I don't see the use of building Qt yourself if the ore-built version provides what you need.
In any case, simplify your life and download the sources from the MaintenanceTool.
-
Ehhh maybe I am moron but I dont understand. I download MaintanaceTool and qt version 5.13.2 but this file doesnt have configure file. I must configure and building, I dont know why but I must. I must use activeperl and jom. When i clone jom to qtbase file i get this bug(qmake -r):
Reading C:/newlib/qtbase/jom/jom/src/app/app.pro
Reading C:/newlib/qtbase/jom/jom/src/jomlib/jomlib.pro
Project MESSAGE: Can't locate path to MSYS. This is needed for flex.
Reading C:/newlib/qtbase/jom/jom/tests/tests.proAnd nmake command:
NMAKE: fatal error U1073: unknown how to create "C: \ newlib \ qtbase \ lib \ Qt6Guid.lib"
Stop. -
You have to download the sources, that's a separate option to select in the maintenance tool.
Did you follow the the Qt for Windows - Building from Source guide ?
On a side note, your clone is on the dev branch which is for Qt 6. Select the correct branch before configuring anything.
