Solved QT Creator build error using mingw64 (Unknown module(s) in QT: script)
-
Hello. I have successfully built QT 5.6.0 using this guide on the QT wiki:
https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW-64-bitUsing the following configuration:
configure -debug-and-release -opensource -confirm-license -platform win32-g++ -developer-build -c++std c++14 -icu -opengl desktop -openssl -plugin-sql-odbc -qt-style-windowsxp -qt-style-windowsvista -nomake tests
Now I am trying to compile QT Creator. When I run qmake, it generates the makefile fine. However, when I try to compile it using mingw32-make I run into the following error.
cd src\ && ( if not exist Makefile C:\Prog\Libraries\qt5\5.6.0\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe C:\Prog\Apps\qt-creator\src\src.pro -o Makefile ) && mingw32-make -f Makefile mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Prog/Apps/qt-creator/src' cd shared\qbs\src\lib\corelib\ && ( if not exist Makefile C:\Prog\Libraries\qt5\5.6.0\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe C:\Prog\Apps\qt-creator\src\shared\qbs\src\lib\corelib\corelib.pro -o Makefile ) && mingw32-make -f Makefile Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: script Makefile:49: recipe for target 'sub-shared-qbs-src-lib-corelib-make_first-ordered' failed mingw32-make[1]: *** [sub-shared-qbs-src-lib-corelib-make_first-ordered] Error 3 mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Prog/Apps/qt-creator/src' Makefile:39: recipe for target 'sub-src-make_first-ordered' failed mingw32-make: *** [sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 2
After looking around, it seems I am missing a script module of sorts I think, but I have no idea on how to resolve that problem with my current setup. My OS is Windows 10.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
QtScript has been deprecated in Qt 5.5 and removed from distribution in Qt 5.6. You have to build the module yourself.

Thanks! Got it to work.
For those that are having the same problem that stumble upon this, clone qtscript from the repository and build it following the same instructions in the readme for qtcreator. Then you can use the same command prompt to continue building qtcreator after that is done. I also needed to build qttools from the repository after I got a "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: help" error further along the build.
