"-no-ssl" option not working when compiling Qt 5.6.3 win32-msvc2017

kartio

Hello!
I have a problem that when compiling the opensource 5.6.3 with -no-ssl option the QT_NO_SSL won't get defined and so for example QSslConfiguration is ifndef'd away completely.
Any advice?

Update to some newer Qt version, where this issue is probably fixed.

If you can't upgrade - patch Qt to fix this.

Last option - compile without -no-ssl but just don't use SSL in your code.

I'd love to update but at the moment it's not possible. I'll just take the option #2 and try to patch Qt source.

Thanks!

Simply define QT_NO_SSL by your own when you compile your application to make sure you don't use ssl functions by accident.
