Compilation Issue - Qt 5.1, MinGW, OpenGL

[asb89]

Hi everyone ! :)

I'm trying to compile Qt 5.1 in order to take advantage of the Qt Mobility modules and get ready for mobile platforms but I'm facing a problem.

I'm following this nice tutorial : http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
But when I type
@configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests@
I get the following
@Running configuration tests...
WARNING: The DirectX SDK could not be detected:
The library 'd3d9.lib' could not be found.
Disabling the ANGLE backend.

WARNING: Using OpenGL ES 2.0 without ANGLE.
Specify -opengl desktop to use Open GL.
The build will most likely fail.@

I'm on Windows 8, d3d9.lib can be located there:
@C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/Lib
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/IA64
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A/x64
C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kit/8.0/Lib/win8/um/x86
C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kit/8.0/Lib/win8/um/x64@

I tried setting DXSDK_DIR variable path to :
@C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.0A
C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kit/8.0/@

Same problem for both.

Do you have any idea on what i'm doing wrong ?
Thank you very much :) :)

Try

@ configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop
@

That's how I got past the angle complaint. Alternatively you must install angle but I can't help much there.

It seems like the directory structure of the DirectX SDK included in the Windows 8 SDK isn't properly recognized (based on your directory structure and the "related code":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/stable/tools/configure/environment.cpp#line613).

You might be able to work around by adding one of the directories containing d3d9.lib to the LIB environment variable. Alternatively you can install the DirectX SDK.

Thank you very much for your answers ! :)

• So... does -opengl desktop keep enable the opengl es 2.0 ? Because that's is apparently the standard now to develop cross plateform apps... Anyways, when I use this tag I'm getting errors during the compilation time.

• I tried to install the straight Direct X SDK on my machine but hit this "issue ":http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2728613 which the solution does not work for me ^^ And if I only install libs and includes of the SDK the installer finishes fine but Qt complains during the configure step about fxc.exe missing.

• Then I change the code of the configure program to fit the Windows Kit path as you suggest.
  @QStringList Environment::libraryPaths(Compiler compiler)
  {
  QStringList libraryPaths;
  if (compiler == CC_MINGW) {
  libraryPaths = mingwPaths(detectMinGW(), "lib");
  }
  // MinGW: Although gcc doesn't care about LIB, qmake automatically adds it via -L
  libraryPaths += splitPathList(QString::fromLocal8Bit(qgetenv("LIB")));

  // Add Direct X SDK for ANGLE
  const QString directXSdk = detectDirectXSdk();
  if (!directXSdk.isEmpty()) {
  #ifdef Q_OS_WIN64
  libraryPaths += directXSdk + QLatin1String("/lib/x64");
  #else
  libraryPaths += directXSdk + QLatin1String("/Lib/win8/um/x86"); // ASB
  #endif
  }
  for(int i = 0; i < libraryPaths.size(); ++i)
  {
  cout << "lib+=" << libraryPaths[i].toStdString() << endl;
  }
  return libraryPaths;
  }@

So... now my question would be, when will the awesome qt team release Qt 5.1 ? :D
