      Hello! Trying to build qt creator (the last available version on github) from source but having this compilation error :

      c:\qt-creator\source\src\shared\qbs\src\shared\qtscript\src\3rdparty\javascriptcore\javascriptcore\wtf\Assertions.h(48): 
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory

      Qt version: Qt 5.13.1 msvc2017 (32bit)
      MSVC Vesroin: MSVC 2017 14.16.27023

      Environment variables Path:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\ucrt
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt

      Allso I have 2019 VS installed, Qt 5.13.1 msvc2017 (64bit). But error keep happening. I REALLY do not want to reinstall everything from scratch. Maybe I miss something?

        I would say the Windows SDK is missing. What exact compiler do you use (cl /?) and do you really opened a visual studio command prompt?

            cl.

            And the version? @Christian-Ehrlicher meant to call cl /? in the command window...

            Regards

            Qt has to stay free or it will die.
