Qt5 static doesn't compile.

[redscorp]

Hi ppl!

Happy End-of-the-World-2012 events!

I'm trying to build some minimalistic static Qt 5.0.0. I'm forcing all what looks not need to be disabled by build options.

@
call ..\qt-5.0.0\configure.bat -platform win32-msvc2010 ^
-xplatform win32-msvc2010_s_mini -debug-and-release -static ^
-no-accessibility -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 ^
-no-sql-mysql -no-sql-psql -no-opengl -no-openvg ^
-no-audio-backend ^
-no-sse2 -no-sse3 -no-ssse3 ^
-no-sse4.1 -no-sse4.2 -no-avx -no-avx2 -no-gif ^
-qt-libpng -no-libjpeg -no-openssl -no-dbus ^
-no-style-fusion ^
-confirm-license -opensource

What this error message can mean and how I can fix it?

Actually, the win32-msvc2010_s_mini is a copy of original win32-msvc2010 with some minor twicks.

I think your packet lacks a file named ".qmake.conf". Download the whole packet again and try to run configure properly.

I did complete download of .zip package. The same package actually compiles shared for x86/x64 msvc2010 and for mingw32 but this setup/config does not compile.

I know I'm cheating a little because I disable nearly everything to make size smaller but as far I do not patch any files in the package the configure.exe should not fail. at least I must say what something depends from disable component, proceed the process and actually finish the preparation. At lease it is how I imagine things. So I assume it is a BUG.

What I also noticed that qtbase folder contains the desired Makefile but the root folder of the Qt package does not. So, I was able to build qtbase I need, but rest is seams to be in bad shape - the configure.exe did not made the rest...

I am getting this error after this commit. Did you find any solution for this?

[WizzZZ]

it's having trouble creating the VS project files.
the easy solution is to not create them using -no-vcproj

[redscorp]

Thanks! I'll try -no-vcproj too.

Had the same issue. (setup: Win7_x86 & VS2010express & qt5 from git)
Solved it by setting environment variable @set QMAKESPEC=%QtDir%\qtbase\mkspecs\win32-msvc2010@

with QtDir pointing to git folder and running following configure command (notice "-fully-process" flag)

@configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop -mp -fully-process -confirm-license@

[redscorp]

Thanks, I'll try this way too. The QMAKESPEC variable was NOT set in my case.

I have the same problem for configure shared lib.

I found the solution
copy .qmake.conf to

qtbase\src\corelib
qtbase\src\gui
....
every directionary
