How to Build QIBASE on Win10 MSVC?

Mucip

Hi,
I downloaded Qt 5.1.4.2 source files in my folder. Well I want to build QIBASE to connect Firebird 2.5 on Win10 x64?
I could not see well detailed step by step document about this.

Regards,
Mucip:)

But I need QIBASE..

Forth time: read the doc!

If you encounter an error during the qmake stage, open config.log to see what went wrong.

Hi,

Are you looking for these instructions ?

Hi,
I apllied now. I think Firebird Client is 32 bit. But I changed MSVC varshall.bat to amd64. I think below error is from x86-x64 conflict. True?...

Hi,
No. I chaned to x86 with vcvarsall.bat x86

But still same problem?!

Please follow the documentation:

Note: If something goes wrong and you want qmake to recheck your available drivers, you must remove config.cache in <QTDIR>/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers - otherwise qmake will not search for the available drivers again. If you encounter an error during the qmake stage, open config.log to see what went wrong.

Mucip

Hi @Christian-Ehrlicher ,
I could'not understand why I can not compile QIBASE in below config:

C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -- IBASE_INCDIR="C:/Program Files/Firebird/Firebird_2_5/include" IBASE_LIBS=-lfbclient.lib

I see newly builded Sqlite dll files in C:\Qt\5.14.2\msvc2017_64

I need QIBASE driver to connect Firebird x64. I ınstalled FirebirdX64 clients in "C:/Program Files/Firebird/Firebird_2_5"

@Mucip Did you do what @Christian-Ehrlicher suggested: "If you encounter an error during the qmake stage, open config.log to see what went wrong."?

SGaist

You're not telling qmake where the library can be found.

Mucip

Hi @SGaist ,
Why
InterBase .............................. no
ODBC ................................... yes

Wher should mek Interbas selected? I mean how can I set it yes?
I guess problem begins in here...

Regards,
Mucip:)

Christian Ehrlicher

@Mucip said in How to Build QIBASE on Win10 MSVC?:

I mean how can I set it yes?

As we said frm the first post - you have to pass the correct IBASE parameters as explained in the documentation:

The configure script cannot detect the necessary libraries and include files if they are not in the standard paths, so it may be necessary to specify these paths using the *_INCDIR=, *_LIBDIR=, or *_PREFIX= command-line options.

Mucip

Hi @Christian-Ehrlicher ,
Now I am one step forward. Thanks.
I do what the document writeç Now I compiled but only Sqlite?! My command stor is below without error. :)

C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>qmake -version

Then I arranged vcvarsall. bat like below,

C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build

And I write nmake and nmake install

C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>nmake

But I need QIBASE..

Hi,
Well, I still trying to read document.
I used configure command like below

C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\qtbase\src\plugins\sqldrivers>C:\Qt\5.14.2\Src\configure -sql-ibase -platform win32-msvc

And the result is:

WARNING: QtWebEngine will not be built.

WARNING: QtPdf will not be built.

ERROR: Feature 'sql-ibase' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'libs.ibase' failed.

Check config.log for details.

The log details which I see in long file:

Dear @Christian-Ehrlicher ,
It's been more than 4 hours but I got it. I deep dived in the docs.
Now I can connect to Firebird. Thanks.
