    png_create_read_struct

    Looks like I am missing libpng !
    Are there any other external libraries I need and how do I install libpng for Qt on Windows ?

    I have tried :-

    ..\qt5\configure -platform win32-msvc -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-libpng -qt-xcb -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz

    Hi, jiust tested on my Windows 7 PC, it has MSVC 2019 installed, I downloaded the source for Qt 5.12.9 using MaintenanceTool and tried your first configure command

    configure -platform win32-msvc -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests

    I had installed Perl but forgot to install Python so the build stopped when it got to Qt5Qml.dll, but all of the plugins were built, including platforms\qdirect2d.dll and platforms\qdirect2dd.dll.

    Anyway, libpng should be in the source tree already (it was in mine).
    Here's my qt_ext_libpng.pri file that was generated during the build (it's in Src\qtbase\mkspecs\modules):

    QMAKE_DEPENDS_LIBPNG_CC =
QMAKE_DEPENDS_LIBPNG_LD =
QMAKE_INCDIR_LIBPNG = C:/Qt/5.12.9/Src/qtbase/src/3rdparty/libpng
QMAKE_DEFINES_LIBPNG = 
QMAKE_LIBS_LIBPNG =
QMAKE_LIBS_LIBPNG_DEBUG = C:/Qt/5.12.9/Src/qtbase/lib/qtlibpngd.lib
QMAKE_LIBS_LIBPNG_RELEASE = C:/Qt/5.12.9/Src/qtbase/lib/qtlibpng.lib

    Do yours look like the same?

    qt_ext_libpng.pri

    Yes, and the lib's are there.

    Maybe I need to use the MaintenanceTool as I just used git and the install instructions.

    Do you mean this :- https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer ?
