Qt4.8.4 release nmake fatal error U1077

PKan

Hello! I want to compile Qt4.8.4 (I know there are better versions, but I want this specific version for a project). The command nmake compiles without errors for the debug version. The release version however, exits with code U1077. I'm posting an image describing the errors:

nmake runs in x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 in Administration mode

The files where the errors occured are:
pcre_tables.cpp
pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.cpp
pcre_xclass.cpp

For example, these are the errors for pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.cpp:
pcre_ucp_searchfuncs.cpp

I'm pretty sure Qt4 is not compilable with MSVC2019 without any modifications to the Qt source code.

PKan

Thank you for the answer! I'm willing to change the source code if needed. Do you know what these modifications are? Or if there is some kind of unofficial patch? It seems strange to me that the debug version worked just fine, but the release version is having trouble. hmmm....

Christian Ehrlicher

No I don't have a patch and not aware of one - you have to fix it by your own.

jsulm

@PKan Do you have to use MSVC2019? If not use older compiler - it would be way easier than patching Qt...
