Compilation Issue - Qt 5.1, MinGW, OpenGL
-
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
