Building static Qt using Mingw32 including openssl fails

[xenovas]

Hi,

Im having an issue when building Qt statically. Specifically Im getting the following error during the installation

mingw32-make[1]: Target 'install' not remade because of errors.
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Qt/Static5113OpenSSL/src/qt-everywhere-src-5.11.3/qtbase'
Makefile:91: recipe for target 'module-qtbase-install_subtargets' failed
mingw32-make: *** [module-qtbase-install_subtargets] Error 2
mingw32-make: Target 'install' not remade because of errors.

Notes: python installed , ActiveState Perl installed, cmd is running with admin privs

the following command is executed from qt-windows-static-build.ps1 powershell script

 cmd /c "configure -static -debug-and-release -opensource -confirm-license -ssl -openssl -openssl-linked -opengl desktop -platform win32-g++ -prefix 'C:\Qt\Static5113OpenSSL\StaticOpenSSL64' -no-compile-examples -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-sqlite -webengine-pepper-plugins -webengine-proprietary-codecs -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include -L C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static OPENSSL_LIBS="" -lUser32 -lAdvapi32 -lGdi32 -lCrypt32"" OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="" -lssleay32MTd -llibeay32MTd"" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE=""-lssleay32MT -llibeay32MT"" "

Can anyone help with this issue ?

You forgot to post the actual errors (which are somewhere above that line)...

@jsulm thank you for your response. There are multiple errors. Everything is failing... the entire build process is failing.

Nevertheless looking at config.log i see the following

I have visual studio 2017 community edition installed..

Qt 5.11.3 installations

mingw53_32
msvc2015
msvc2015_64
msvc2017_64

@xenovas Do you call configure from MinGW terminal?
You should do so to get a prepared environment.

@jsulm Well, i have set the Mingw32\bin to the windows path. then inside the powershell script i run the following

  mingw32-make -k -j8
  mingw32-make -k install

but before running the powershell script i run the following

@echo off

REM Set up \Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, where <arch> is \c amd64, \c x86, etc.
CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

REM Edit this location to point to the source code of Qt
SET _ROOT=C:\Qt\Static5113OpenSSL\src\qt-everywhere-src-5.11.3

SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtbase\bin;%_ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin;%PATH%

REM Uncomment the below line when using a git checkout of the source repository
REM SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtrepotools\bin;%PATH%

REM Uncomment the below line when building with OpenSSL enabled. If so, make sure the directory points
REM to the correct location (binaries for OpenSSL).
REM SET PATH=C:\openssl\x86\release\bin;%PATH%
SET PATH=C:\openssl\x64\release\bin;%PATH%

REM When compiling with ICU, uncomment the lines below and change <icupath> appropriately:
REM SET INCLUDE=<icupath>\include;%INCLUDE%
REM SET LIB=<icupath>\lib;%LIB%
REM SET PATH=<icupath>\lib;%PATH%

REM uncomment the following line to use multiple cores on compile time

SET CL=/MP

REM Contrary to earlier recommendations, do NOT set QMAKESPEC.

SET _ROOT=

REM Keeps the command line open when this script is run.
cmd /k

I have followed the exact same process some time ago and everything went fine. ..

Why are you setting up Microsoft compiler if you want to use MinGW?!

If you want to use MinGW to build simply start the MinGW terminal (you can find it in start menu).

@xenovas Make sure you're building in a clean build folder (without build artefacts from previous tries).
So, create a new build folder, change to that folder and do all the steps again (like calling configure, make, make install).
