Building Qt5.15.2 from source code with configure -no-feature-accessibility

[gaojinhsu]

when I ran

configure -no-feature-accessibility -platform win32-msvc -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -webengine-proprietary-codecs -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -openssl-linked OPENSSL_PREFIX=C:\openssl

I got this, WARNING: Accessibility disabled. This configuration of Qt is unsupported.

does it mean disabling accessibility is not supported any more? why?

@gaojinhsu As I said - you have to ask the devs about the state.

at least not in the Qt version you're using

why?

You have to ask the qt devs for it -> qt-interest mailing list

[gaojinhsu]

@Christian-Ehrlicher But this option is still in their doc as an example, in the section of Including or Excluding Features. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html

-no-accessibility .. Do not compile Accessibility support.
                     Disabling accessibility is not recommended, as it will break QStyle
                     and may break other internal parts of Qt.
                     With this switch you create a source incompatible version of Qt,
                     which is unsupported.
