[SOLVED] Building Qt5.0.0 without Print Support Module

[astodolski]

Is there a way to build from source version 5.0.0 without the Print Support Module. Ideally, I want to determine why the build crashes building Qt5PrintSupport.dll but I want to leave out that module to see if the rest of the package builds to completion. There doesn't appear to be a configure option to leave out the print support module.

I think I have solved this:

Makefile.release (or debug or both) in C:\Qt\Qt5.0.0\qtbase\src\printsupport

LIBS = winspool.lib comdlg32.lib gdi32.lib oleaut32.lib imm32.lib winmm.lib ws2_32.lib ole32.lib user32.lib advapi32.lib /LIBPATH:C:/Qt/Qt5.0.0/qtbase/lib C:/Qt/Qt5.0.0/qtbase/lib\Qt5Widgets.lib C:/Qt/Qt5.0.0/qtbase/lib\Qt5Gui.lib C:/Qt/Qt5.0.0/qtbase/lib\Qt5Core.lib .obj\release_shared\Qt5PrintSupport_resource.res

I am assuming you are fixing the print support module through modifying the makefile after the fact and then re-running nmake? I ask this because I wish to know if then you are successful doing a complete build from source of version 5.0.

Right, I am modifying the file after configure, and after the build failure actually.
The line I wrote probably holds libs that are unnecessary, I just took them from the makefile of the QTGui component that successfully builds before this and makes these calls too.
To be clear - I don't really know what I am doing here.
Now I am stuck at building V8 which also gives me linker problems.

I appreciate the help and the honest remark.

Right now I'm stuck with the same error as this guy... https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28849

Any luck with that? :)

I want to share my experience so far with this thread. This is actually a part of a bigger issue - completing a rebuild of Qt 5.

I installed the per-requisites to performing a build from source as called out in the README. If it wasn't called for in the README, I didn't install it! However, looking at another source of information regarding the pre-req's for Windows, I decided to install the latest Windows DirectX SDK even though the README didn't call for it.

This so far had not helped in the build. I tried the default suggestion configure line for the rebuild:

@configure -prefix C:\Qt\5.0.0\qtbase -opensource -nomake tests@

That use along with nmake kills the build from completing. It always dies on Qt5PrintSupport.dll.
The next thing I tried was to add configure options. I don't know yet why these worked but this what became a source of success. The configure line used was:

@configure -prefix C:\Qt\5.0.0\qtbase -opensource -no-fast -nomake tests -opengl desktop -no-icu@

This when run produced the following config.summary file in the qtbase folder:

The build was successful to completion and I can't explain why. I hope this was detailed enough so to help others who may be having similar issues.
