Building qt

Vertexwahn

I did a checkout of the qt source from git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git after that I tried to build it from the Visual Studio x64 Command Line like this:
configure -mp -opensource -nomake demos -nomake examples

Unfortunatelly configure fails. Here the outup of my console window:

The file QtCore/qconfig.h does not exist. Where do I get it from?

Just curious.. are you in the Qt root folder (i.e C:\USB\thirdparty\qt) when running configure?

I can tell you in advance: To compile Qt, you will need perl and also phyton (well at least for Qt5). In Qt5, that file it only contains the following line:

@#include "../../src/corelib/global/qconfig.h"@

@groenerth: You're talking about the file in the include folder I presume.. Just to clear that... all the files in the include folder just contain a #include like that to the file in the src folder..

@Vertexwahn: Since you're compiling qglobal.h which is in the same folder as qconfig.h.. and paths not set up to use the global include.. just change the 'QtCore/qconfig.h' to 'qconfig.h'.. But if there are other includes doing the same thing... you're doing something wrong..

It seems that he is running the "make" command in a wrong path...

I am in the root path (C:\USB\thirdparty\qt) where configure is located

I don't have perl installed but phyton - I installed Strawberry Perl now

Currently I am runing configure again - it seems to work now - just perl was missing

Does Qt5 have its own repository (git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git)? What is the difference between git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git and git://gitorious.org/qt? Is git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git included in git://gitorious.org/qt? (I don't have any experience with git) - what is the sense of the Qt5 submodule
