Unresolved external symbol attempting to build 5.2

Signatal

Seems to have worked for me to. +1 (if any).

On a partial side rant, why a dependency on python? I understand it's nice to use other tools when building but if I'm putting together a base system I now have to install both ActivePerl and Python. Not to mention if I check out from source instead of using a zip file I need git as well. Why not simplify and either build a small tool inside of Qt (similar to qmake) where it could do your scripted steps or just limit down to 1 language?

Thanks for the answer, you guys are a lifesaver!

thank you,

@billconan and @gboulard

Thanks a bunch. I had the same issue where I had to install Python half way through nmake, but after re-running nmake it blew up way beyond in with this unrecognizable JSC::Yarr:: errors !!

Deleting RegExpJitTables.h and re-running nmake got me past this.

Hi,
This is the complete sequence to install QT on windows x64 bit with VS2015. Hope it will help

Add license file to this location: %USERPROFILE%.qt-license
Open Visual Studio VS2015 Developer Native Command Prompt
Run command “D:\Qt\Qt5.5.0-VS2015\5.5\Src” to go to the qt folder
set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2015
set QTDIR=D:\Qt\Qt5.5.0-VS2015\5.5\Src
set PYTHONDIR=D:\Pulse\agents\work\DAILY_CVXIX_2016_x64_vs110\ix\Tools\Windows\python\Python2.7.1
set PATH=%QTDIR%\qtbase\bin;%PYTHONDIR%;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=%PYTHONDIR%;%INCLUDE%
cd %QTDIR%
Run command “configure -debug-and-release -platform win32-msvc2015 –prefix <location to install to>
Run command “nmake”
Run command “nmake install”

Hello,

I tried with the lastest version pulled from git and deleting the file generated the following error

C:\Users\Lionel\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe C:/Dev/github/qt5/qt5/qtdeclarative/src/3rdparty/masm/yarr/create_regex_tables > .generated\debug\RegExpJitTables.h

and python is properly installed

C:\Dev\github\qt5\qt5>python --version
Python 2.7.18

The file is generated each time I call "nmake"

@LionelPeeters said in Unresolved external symbol attempting to build 5.2:

and python is properly installed

In which folder?
The first error clearly says that C:\Users\Lionel\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe is NOT recognised!

@jsulm I'm having the same issue as @LionelPeeters. Can either of you comment on how to resolve this? I don't see why Jom would be looking for python in this WindowsApps path instead of the Python directory I added to my Path. There is no WindowsApps path in my Path environment variable. And I've already disabled the app execution aliases for python.
