Solved: Building Qt libraries for VS2012 runtime

[gil_mo]

Hi,
I need to build and link the latest (5.0.1) Qt libraries against the VS2012 runtime libraries.
I’m using the non-commercial Qt.
I've downloaded the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.1 package and now I'm stuck on some problems:
Apparently there is no proper cookbook on how to configure and build for vs2012 compatibility.
The current problem:

@c:\qt5.0.1\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.1\qtbase\src\network\ssl\qsslsocket_openssl_p.h(66) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'openssl/asn1.h': No such file or directory
@
My configure command line is:
@configure –I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include –I C:\OpenSSL-Win32 –I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include\openssl -opensource -openssl-linked -debug-and-release -platform win32-msvc2012 –no-icu -nomake examples -nomake tests
@
(of course, the path to openssl is correct).

I couldn’t find the include path mentioned in the created Makefile.
Also tried to clean the configuration using ‘nmake confclean’ (suggested by ‘Configure’), but there is no such file ‘confclean’.
Any help?

Hi,
I think the build test for openssl fails because you don't provide the path to openssl's lib.

Retry with only -I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include and add -L C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib.

Check the output of the configure script to see if openssl support is activated.

Hope it helps

update: overcame the above error and bumped into another:
To really clean the configuration I started from a vanilla copy of the package (my own 'confclean'' if you wish), then configured again using the same commandline.
This time, compilation passed but link failed on SSL:

@LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ssleay32.lib'@

Tried to add the libraries to the configure command, by adding to the previous command line:

@-l C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\ssleay32.lib -l C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\libeay32.lib@

.. and got a funny link error:

@LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ssleay32.lib.lib'@

Tried again:

@-l C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\ssleay32 -l C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\libeay32@

got the first link error again.
Also tried using the -L switch with no help.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Solved.

Using a vanilla copy of the package, used the winner command line - removing the explicit -l<ssl library name> and adding -L<SSL lib directory>.

Thanks for watching!

Great !
