Building qt 5.15.1 static on windows using mingw

raketmus

Hello i am trying to build the newest version of qt on windows, using mingw 8.1.0 64 bit.
using the following batch script to build

set OPENSSL_DIR=C:\OpenSSL-Win64
configure -release -static -opensource -confirm-license -static-runtime -no-pch -optimize-size -v -opengl desktop -platform win32-g++ -prefix "C:\Qt\QT-Static" -skip webengine -nomake tools -nomake tests -nomake examples -openssl-linked OPENSSL_INCDIR="%OPENSSL_DIR%\include" OPENSSL_LIBDIR="%OPENSSL_DIR%\lib\VC\static" OPENSSL_LIBS="-lWs2_32 -lGdi32 -lAdvapi32 -lCrypt32 -lUser32" OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="-llibssl64MDd -llibcrypto64MDd" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="-llibssl64MD -llibcrypto64MD"
mingw32-make install
pause

C:\OpenSSL-Win64 is my installtion of https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html 1.1.1g 64bit
building on http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.15/5.15.1/single/.
This is the error i get

ERROR: Feature 'openssl-linked' was enabled, but the pre-condition '!features.securetransport && !features.schannel && libs.openssl' failed.

how can i fix this? full config.log here: https://pastebin.com/9Ya7AaS1.

Isn't this obvious enough?

Trying source 1 (type inline) of library openssl ...
Include path \\include is invalid.

You have to escape the backslashes or use forward slashes

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-requirements.html this said i should any ways fell kinda stupid for not checking that.

Christian Ehrlicher

Now I really wonder what's going wrong since the examples also use backslashes and it works. Please try with escaping or forward slasshes, take a look in the config log if it works then and report back.

raketmus

hm yeah that wasent the issue.

mingw32-make
mingw32-make install
pause

new ps1 file changed to absolute paths.

Christian Ehrlicher

But now the config log output changed to undefined references to some functions. Since you're using mingw you should not use the msvc openssl libs.

I switched to https://bintray.com/vszakats/generic/openssl for openssl but i now have a issue(which i also had before).
it seems that all the options cant be found
i dont know how to solve this how would i got aboudt this?

raketmus

Update using qt-lib for every lib worked some what removing almost all the warnings just left.

raketmus

ok fixed that with the following line

configure.bat -release -static -opensource -confirm-license -static-runtime -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg -qt-tiff -qt-webp -qt-libpng -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -qt-harfbuzz -gui -widgets -no-pch -opengl desktop -platform win32-g++ -prefix "C:\Qt\QT-Static-2" -skip webengine -nomake tools -nomake tests -nomake examples -openssl-linked OPENSSL_INCDIR="C:\OpenSSL-Win64\include" OPENSSL_LIBDIR="C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib" OPENSSL_LIBS="-lWs2_32 -lGdi32 -lAdvapi32 -lCrypt32 -lUser32" OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="-lssl -lcrypto" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="-lssl -lcrypto"

issue is now it wont find the -lssl and -lcrypto when building the app even thoe it is there
