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?

SGaist

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

SGaist

What must be 100% ?

manual which I paste in last post

SGaist

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 ?

Cinexus123

@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.

SGaist

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.pro

And nmake command:

NMAKE: fatal error U1073: unknown how to create "C: \ newlib \ qtbase \ lib \ Qt6Guid.lib"
Stop.

SGaist

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.
