I cannot configure Qt 6.2.0 to build statically. Errors: "opt: zlib val: qt", "Overriding option 'libpng' with 'qt' (was: 'undefined')" and so on

Hello,

I try to configure Qt6 to build statically. I use this configuration command:

configure -prefix "C:\Qt\Qt6.2.0_MinGW_Static" -static -static-runtime -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-odbc -sql-sqlite -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-angle -skip qttools -skip qtquick3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtshadertools -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtwebengine -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlottie -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebview -skip qtwayland -skip qtscxml -skip qtmqtt -skip qtopcua -skip qtsvg -skip qtdoc

But this configuration give me these errors:

opt: zlib val: qt
opt: pcre val: qt
opt: libpng val: qt
Overriding option 'libpng' with 'qt' (was: 'undefined')
opt: libjpeg val: qt
Overriding option 'libjpeg' with 'qt' (was: 'undefined')
opt: freetype val: qt
Overriding option 'freetype' with 'qt' (was: 'undefined')

Unknown command line option '-no-angle'.

I tried to install CMake 3.21.3 x386 and CMake 3.21.3 x86_64

Hi,

From the looks of it, you should drop the -no-angle option.

@SGaist, thank you for your reply. I will try it later and I will write about the result.

I deleted -no-angle:

configure -prefix "C:\Qt6.2.0_Static" -static -static-runtime -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-odbc -sql-sqlite -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qttools -skip qtquick3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtshadertools -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtwebengine -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlottie -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebview -skip qtwayland -skip qtscxml -skip qtmqtt -skip qtopcua -skip qtsvg -skip qtdoc

I have this error:

Checking dependencies of 'qtmultimedia'
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:81 (message):
  Module 'qtmultimedia' depends on 'qtshadertools', but building
  'qtshadertools' was explicitly disabled.

  Note: Use '-skip qtmultimedia' to exclude it from the build.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I deleted -skip qtshadertools:

configure -prefix "C:\Qt6.2.0_Static" -static -static-runtime -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-odbc -sql-sqlite -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qttools -skip qtquick3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtwebengine -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlottie -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebview -skip qtwayland -skip qtscxml -skip qtmqtt -skip qtopcua -skip qtsvg -skip qtdoc

But I have the same error. How to clean the configuration? I use MinGW.

How to clean the configuration?

I just deleted the "CMakeCache.txt" file. Now I have this error:

Checking dependencies of 'qttranslations'
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:81 (message):
  Module 'qttranslations' depends on 'qttools', but building 'qttools' was
  explicitly disabled.

  Note: Use '-skip qttranslations' to exclude it from the build.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I added -skip qttranslations:

configure -prefix "C:\Qt6.2.0_Static" -static -static-runtime -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -opengl desktop -sql-odbc -sql-sqlite -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qttools -skip qtquick3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtwebengine -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlottie -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebview -skip qtwayland -skip qtscxml -skip qtmqtt -skip qtopcua -skip qtsvg -skip qtdoc -skip qttranslations

Configuration is running.

I will try to setup Perl.

I installed Perl using this link: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-building.html

I used ActiveState Perl but I have the same error above that Perl needs to be available to build Qt.

I reopend CMD but perl is not available:

I download "Strawberry Perl" from here: https://strawberryperl.com/ I installed strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-64bit.msi. It requires 542 MB on hard disc.

Perl is available now:

Configuration was done! It requires 7 minutes on my laptop.

Some information for people who will build Qt6 to static.

This command does not work for me: cmake --build . --parallel:

I used mingw32-make and mingw32-make install.

mingw32-make requires ~ 7 hours and ~30 GB on hard drive:

I temporarily removed almost all programs from the C drive on my laptop: Chrome, Antivirus, VSCode, and so on.

If it is not enough space you can run mingw32-make again:

mingw32-make install creates the "Qt6.2.0_Static" folder with size = 822 MB.

I have this problem for settings: Qt version is not properly installed, please run make install
