Build on Windows with print support disabled

[azaclauson]

I'm attempting to build v5.12.6 from source on Windows 10 with the Visual Studio 2019 v16.4 toolchain. I have been able to build successfully but now need to get the size down and am attempting to remove unneeded features.

I don't need print support and have disabled all the options I can find that seem relevant. The problem is I then get the compiler error below when running nmake.

C:\Dev\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.6\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.6\qtbase\include\QtPrintSupport\../../src/printsupport/kernel/qtprintsupportglobal.h(44): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'QtPrintSupport/qtprintsupport-config.h': No such file or directory (compiling source file C:\Dev\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.6\qt-everywhere-src-5.12.6\qttools\src\assistant\assistant\centralwidget.cpp)

My configure command line is:

Don't do that. You should pass -skip qttools as configure parameter.

As for the configuration tool, there's one here but IIRC, it's a commercial tool.

Hi,

Do you need the QtTools module ?
If not, just skip it for the time being.

[azaclauson]

Thx for the response.

I removed the make tools option but that ended up failing the build with a compilation error at a different point.

Is there any kind of tool that allows different Qt features to be selected and a configure command generated? I've been doing a lot of trial and error and ultimately end up just enabling more and more features until the build works.

Don't do that. You should pass -skip qttools as configure parameter.

On which line exactly in centralwidget.cpp does this error occur? I don't see an include of it somewhere in there.

Thanks again for the help. I finally got it working by adding the suggested -skip qttools and removing the -no-feature-textedit option.

Configure for the working build was:
