Error when trying to build static Qt5 library on windows 10

SpaceEye

I am trying to build static Qt5 library. Everything goes well, until I run mingw32-make.
My confugure command: configure -static -platform win32-g++ -prefix "C:\libs\qt\5.15.2\static_lib" -release -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tools -opengl desktop -no-angle -qt-sqlite -make libs -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype
Here is the error:

I have anaconda, and "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe" If that matters.

The problem is not solved, but i tinkered with cmake and my program compiled, so i don't care anymore.

Hi, just a guess, but do you run the configure command from within a Powershell window? If yes, try to run it from a CMD window.

SpaceEye

Nope, powershell and cmd give the same error.

Perhaps your Ruby or Perl (or Python) versions installed are too old?
For building 5.15.2 with MinGW there's a pretty good Qt wiki page here where the requirements for Ruby, Perl and Python are listed.

SpaceEye

Perl, Ruby and python are all installed. Same error.
