build qt creator from sources

amigo421

built qtc from sources. but got a error when I'm starting this:

Failed to load core: c:\qtc\lib\qtcreator\plugins\Core.dll: Can't load library c:\qtc\lib\qtcreator\plugins\Core.dll: %1 is not valid Win32 application

Any idea?

Hi Amigo
One thing I wonder.
Did you build all of Qt also?

I wonder if there is a mismatch between the compiler
Creator.exe is build with and the compiler used for the support dlls, like core.dll

amigo421

just used wiki how to build (build of QtCreator only, not Qt SDK as well, used pre-installed full SDK 5.6.0). I'll check memory model for sure 32 vs 64 too

clone the repository (head revision)
qmake -r .... (prepare for a build)
nmake (build using vc)
so Core.dll was built as well as QtCreator.exe. during the process.
the only what I did manually - Qt5 dlls copied from my Qt5.6.0 installation to QtCreator bin

but are those compiled with same compiler as the rest?
I have had bad results mixing dlls

amigo421

do you mean mingw vs vc?
or even versions of vc?

hi
i know 100% between mingw and VS is a no go, but
also seen that sometimes versions of VS also is no good.
