How to configure in windows?

dondioci

I try to build Qt installer framework in win11, https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-getting-started.html
and I stuck on the first configure step. How can I configure it on windows?

jsulm

@dondioci The configure command is part of Qt source code. And this step in the documentation is only needed if you want to build Qt by yourself. If you already have Qt then simply follow "Setting up Qt Installer Framework" chapter in the documentation.

jsulm

@dondioci Do you really need to build it from sources?

dondioci

@jsulm yes, I want to customize the wizard button stylesheet.

jsulm

@dondioci Then please tell us what exactly the problem is?
"I stuck on the first configure step" - does not tell much.

@dondioci If that's the case, there's Stylesheet Example which tells you how to use stylesheet to customize the UI.

dondioci

@jsulm Sorry for late reply. I want to put the quit button in the bottom left corner. I‘ve seen the manual and I cannot find the way to do it.

dondioci

@Bonnie I have seen it. But I cannot a way to adjust the quit button position within the manual.

jsulm

@dondioci I asked about the configure issue you have...

dondioci

@jsulm Oh, I doesn't have the "configure" tool in windows.

configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -release -static -static-runtime -accessibility -no-icu -no-sql-sqlite -no-qml-debug -nomake examples -nomake tests

How can I get this tool?

@dondioci You said you want to customize the stylesheet, how would you change that by stylesheet even if you can rebuild the ifw?

Well, usually we need to build Qt before building ifw because ifw needs to be built with static Qt.
