Error while builing Qt 6 for Windows 11

freedbrt

My steps:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt6
Perl --init-repository
configure -developer-build -opensource

Environment: Windows 11, Visual Studio 2022 x64 command line prompt.

And after that configure failing. What i'm doing wrong?

On Linux systems, you may be able to install libclang by installing the libclang-dev or libclang-devel package, depending on your distribution.
On macOS, you can use Homebrew's llvm package.
You will also need to set the FEATURE_clang CMake variable to ON to re-evaluate this check.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'cmake --build . --parallel'

Once everything is built, Qt is installed. You should NOT run 'cmake --install .'
Note that this build cannot be deployed to other machines or devices.

To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script:
        D:/dev/qt6/qtbase/bin/qt-configure-module.bat

If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory

@freedbrt said in Error while builing Qt 6 for Windows 11:

And after that configure failing. What i'm doing wrong?

Probably nothing, except living on the bleeding edge - latest dev branch ;)

This is an autotest in qtdeclarative not having it's dependencies right, in a top-level build.

If you actually are not interested in auto-tests, I suggest to just skip them by passing '-nomake tests'.

If you are actually interested in the Qt auto-tests, my suggestion is to not use a top-level build, but instead configure / build / install qtbase, then qtdeclarative ...

freedbrt

@kkoehne Great, thanks, yes "-nomake tests" solved my problem. As for tests, I will build them for the required module myself.
