qmake problem with webassembly on windows

Trigve

Hi,
I'm trying to compile my sample project on windows as webassembly.

I have generated the .pro file from the VS tool (VS 2017). Then I'm opening the .pro file in the Qt Creator and running qmake inside (I've already set the wasm buildset, compilers, ...).

When I run the qmake I get this:

09:54:43: Running steps for project clientQt...
09:54:44: Starting: "D:\xxx\Qt\5.15.2\wasm_32\bin\qmake.exe" D:\yyy\clientQt\clientQt.pro -spec wasm-emscripten "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG-=qml_debug" "CONFIG-=qtquickcompiler"

Error while building/deploying project clientQt (kit: Qt 5.15.2 Wasm)
The kit Qt 5.15.2 Wasm has configuration issues which might be the root cause for this problem.
When executing step "qmake"

I've searched for the answer but without success.

Anyone knows where could be the problem?

Thank you

Ahhh crap! The "template" in the .pro had a typo (had "apps" need to be "app").

@Trigve said in qmake problem with webassembly on windows:

Is the D drive connected? qmake can't write there for some reason.

Trigve

@jsulm Thank you for the reply, yes the D: is connected, it's my second disk. I was thinking of forward slashes, as it may be potentially the problem but the path is generated by qmake presumably.

@Trigve Try with a build directory on C: to see whether it makes a difference

Trigve

@jsulm I've tried on C:\ and the error is same.

Sorry for late reply, but I could post no more than 1 message in 10 minutes.

@Trigve I upvoted you, now there should not be 10min limit.
Try to disable the antivirus-software.

@jsulm Thank you for the upvote ;)

Tried disabling the AV, but no luck.
