In Qt 5.6.0 UIC always crashes when built with MSVC2008

[horokey]

Hello,
I tried to build Qt 5.6.0 with MSVC 2008 and uic.exe seems to be not working. I tried to debug it, and saw "Access violation reading location"-error.

My configure parameters are the following:
-opengl desktop -opensource -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-icu -confirm-license

The first crash occures during the execution of the following script:

    call D:\_myDocs\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.0\build-9\qtbase\src\widgets\uic_wrapper.bat D:\_myDocs\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.0\src\qtbase\src\widgets\dialogs\qfiledialog.ui -o .uic\ui_qfiledialog.h
    
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'call' : return code '0xc0000005'

When building with MSVC 2015 it's all ok.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

The oldest supported compiler on Windows is VS2010.

Thank you for the answer.

Okay, but until the 5.5.1 version it could be built with that version of MSVS and i wanted to explore, how to fix it.

Then you'll likely have to start with git bisect to find at which point it started to fail the build but you should do it only on qtbase.
