Building minimal Qt5 - no GUI, just QtCore, QtNetwork, oh and QtScript [SOLVED]

[dvb0222]

I am building Qt for an embedded target which has a very minimal distribution. My Qt application links only against the QtCore, QtNetwork and QtScript libraries. There is no GUI and no keyboard input.

I think I can get everything I need except QtScript from building the qtbase module, and turning off things with the -no<fill-in-the-blank> options. But how do I integrate the qtscript module with this build?

I remember when Qt5 was first released there was documentation on assembling modules together, but that seems to be gone.

I do not want to start with the full source distro and take things out. I'd rather start with the qtbase and add the qtscript, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Any guidance is very appreciated

OK sorry for the post, the answer is super simple.

Download and build qtbase, then install it.
Point your QTDIR to where you installed the qtbase, and add $QTDIR/bin to the front of your path.
Now just un-tar the qtscript source tarball, cd to it and qmake; make

It builds the libs and learns where the Qt base installed to. You can make install to add the qtscript libs and .h to your Qt build.

I presume the other modules are this easy also.

Very cool stuff.
