Compiling static Qt libraries with /MT using MSVC2010

didac.perez

Dear all,

I am trying to build QT libraries statically and with /MT (runtime static linking).

I have followed the next steps:

Go to qmake.conf file and modify /MD to /MT in both release and debug configurations
I run configure command like this: configure -static -opensource
I run nmake

The problem is that nmake fails a few seconds after running. Here are the last output:
@
qjson.cpp
qjsondocument.cpp
qjsonobject.cpp
qjsonarray.cpp
qjsonvalue.cpp
qjsonparser.cpp
qjsonwriter.cpp

Please, are you experiencing the same result? Anybody know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Hi all,

I have fixed the error. I think configure command generates wrong header files. For instance, qdom.h in qtbase/include/qtxml were like this:
#include "../../../../../../../../f:/utils/Qt/5.0.0/Src/qtbase/src/xml/dom/qdom.h"
and I had to move to:
#include "../../src/xml/dom/qdom.h"

And now it works. Maybe this is an issue of qt building system.

Kind regards,

koahnig

welcome to devnet

I cannot judge if this is a bug of the building system or not. However, you can check on "JIRA":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa if it has been already reported. Furthermore, you can place also a bug report there. This ensures that the problem is not ignored. The devnet forum is NOT rigorously checked for eventual bugs by the development team.

When you decide to place a bug report, it is also good to post the link here. This helps others to find a solution and they can vote for an issue increasing the visibility and importance.

BTW It is Qt. QT is Quick Time.

Thanks for your comments! I have still experiencing problems during the build so I will post it there. Thanks for the difference between Qt and QT :-)
