Qt6.7 Compile Failed From Source In Windows11

thinking

Hello everyone, I am using Windows 11 and Visual Studio Version 2022 to compile the Qt version 6.7.0 source code. However, I've encountered an issue, and I need your expertise in analyzing it. Thank you for considering my request.

The following code is my batch script

@thinking The batch file you provide does not actually attempt to configure or build anything. I am going to assume you did something semi-obvious with the last four/five environment variables.

The link errors you are seeing are the result of a missing library or library with missing components.
Seems very similar to this report. Make sure that your source tree contains good copy of the browser engine on a stable branch.

This sort of thing can also be caused by a parallel build on source where the dependencies are not entirely captured: it builds something out-of-order and fails.
If you run ninja again, perhaps several times, do the result change?
If you run ninja -j 1 does the result change?

@ChrisW67 Thank you very much! I tried the way you suggested, but the error was still, and have the same wrong message. The remaining command see the following code

if not exist %BUILD_DIR% (
mkdir %BUILD_DIR%
)

cd %BUILD_DIR%
call %SRC_DIR%\configure.bat -prefix %INSTALL_DIR% %CONFIGURE_OPTIONS%

:: cmake --build . --parallel
cmake --fresh --build .
cmake --install .

pause

At last, i installed the qt 6.7.0 using online installer (https://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/) ...

The compilation problem may be caused by the non-normal generation of the file 'css_property_names.cc' that located at 'qt670-build\qtwebengine\src\core\Release\AMD64\gen\third_party\blink\renderer\core\css'. Because the file content is incomplete

I encountered the same problem. Is there a solution? Or a trick that I have to delete certain files so they are generated again?

Seems my gperf version was not correct. When I deleted the file css_property_names.cc I got a message that gperf was not found. I installed it a whiel a go via "pip install gperf". No I did it with "winget install gperf". I have now version 3.1

With a complete rebuild it finaly worked.
