Qt6 from source on windows build. QtCreator issue

Dariusz

Hey

When I run the .pro project I get stuck at

How can I "type o" as no matter where/how I select it does not let me do it.

Or what would be the right command to do it from cmd?

TIA

Hi, you need to pass -opensource to the configure.bat call.

-opensource

How?

Im clicking run qmake in QtCreator and I don't have an input method :c

Hi,

If you want to build Qt yourself, then you have to use the command line in order to execute the configure script properly.

I just wanted to load pro project to be able to navigate around source code as the https://code.woboq.org/qt5/ does not support Qt6.

I'd like to build at some point Qt6 too but not just yet...

How can I get the darn pro project to load src and allow me to use ide magic to jump around the source?

TIA

Qt 6 uses cmake and I would rather avoid trying to load the whole project in any editor. Load only the module you are interested in.

@SGaist How do I load partially src ?

I tried picking different cmakes but they seem to be part of bigger build and don't work by themself.

I ended up picking root cmake that kinda work but gets errors >

And more more more.... wall of text.

SGaist

Did you configure Qt at least once completely ?

Dariusz

@SGaist I've no idea... I tried running .pro project. That did not work. I tried opening cmakelist.txt in clion & result of that is above. I guess hes missing precompiled headers(?).

I thought that the .pro file would do all the heavy lifting?

SGaist

Then start by running the configure script, it's a requirement in order to build qtbase at least.
