Trying to compile qt5 with the following configuration

The thing I'm primarily trying to compile is QtWebEngine

I get the following error

I'm using JOM to compile, this is the stderr from it

What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Hi,

From what I can see, you might be skipping to many thing to build the qtwebengine module.

If you only want to build qtwebengine with more stuff, you don't need to rebuild the whole of Qt.

@SGaist
But the configuration above works on MacOS if I swap -shared with -framework -securetransport the error seems completely ambiguous as well. I’m also skipping all the modules except qtbase, qtdeclarative, qtwebchannel, and qtwebengine so I don’t have to build things unnecessarily.

What am I doing wrong on Windows 10?

@SGaist Sorry, I didn't realize I had so many typos in my last reply. Hopefully this is clearer now.

SGaist

What if you only build qtbase ?

Since it failed, did you restart each time from a clean state ?

On a side note, you should consider making out of source builds.

UebelAndre

@SGaist I've tried removing all the skips and recompiling from a clean state using jom module-qtbase and still get the following. I usually completely clean my build directory and try again every time I want to recompile Qt.

@SGaist Is there something I can do to get a more detailed error message? Running with -verbose doesn't appear to change what outputs to stderr. What is .rcc\release\qrc_mimetypes.cpp?

UebelAndre

@SGaist hi, I could still use some help with this issue.

SGaist

One other thing you can do is check whether you get the same issue with the latest LTS.
