Build 5.1.0 from source, where are my dlls?
-
This may sound like a silly question but I was pretty sure that after a successful build I would get a bin folder full of the Qt DLLs. Am I missing something?
I put the source folder in C:\Qt\5.1.0,
Then with the VS2012 command prompt.:
SET QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2012
SET QMAKE=C:\Qt\5.1.0\qtbase
SET PATH=C:\Qt\5.1.0\qtbase\bin;%PATH%
configure -debug-and-release -opensource -platform win32-msvc2012 -opengl
desktop -static -nomake webkit -nomake examples -nomake testsThen "jom" which took its time but doesn't seem like there are any errors. Still my qtbase/bin folder doesn't have the Qt DLLs I'm expecting to find.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
You have -static in your configure option, this will get you only lib files, the dlls are for the shared build
-
Thanks! That sure makes sense.
But now I'm having problems with the linking. The first one I encounter (from the jom output) is:
ui4.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall QXmlStreamStringRef::operator class QStringRef(void)const " (_imp??BQXmlStreamStringRef@@QBE?AVQStringRef@@XZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall DomAction::read(class QXmlStreamReader &)" (?read@DomAction@@QAEXAAVQXmlStreamReader@@@Z)
Am I missing a prerequisite?

Are you building your program with your static Qt build ?
-
No I cleaned, ran configure again without the -static keyword, and now I get these linking errors.
-
I'm getting this from trying to compile the Qt 5.1.0 sources. Should I be doing any modifications for that?
-
No, but you should try from a "clean" command prompt (no variable settings before building)

Hi SGalst and thanks for your repeated helpful posts.
I think I'll just go to the VS2010 win 32bit opengl version which does have pre-built binaries and leave the mess behind.
Thanks again!

You're welcome, one last idea, did you get the source's zip file ?
-
Yes I did.
