Problems while running "qt-everywhere-src.ps1"

pingal · 3 Jan 2022, 03:44

I'm trying to make a standalone executable for my QT Console application. So i figured out Building a static Qt for Windows using MinGW and followed step by step instructions.
When i ran the script, it gave me errors for downloading qt-everywhere-src.ps1 so I manually download the archive and placed it in the appropriate location i.e. C:\Qt\Static\src as per the script.

Then I ran the script and it gave me the below output

These lines suggests that something is wrong with 'qtdeclarative' i.e.

Module 'qtscxml' depends on 'qtdeclarative', but building 'qtdeclarative'
was explicitly disabled.

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

So I tried using -skip qtscxml option and it gives me others modules to keep skipping.

How to resolve this problem ?

I've not made changes in the script. just these two lines are edited to meet the 6.2.3 version

$QtSrcUrl = "https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/6.2/6.2.3/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.2.3.zip"
$QtVersion = "6.2.3", #If you change this, you'll need to change the URL above to download as well...

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S: I'm using QT Creator 5.0.2 along with 6.2.3 MinGW
