Failed to Build Qt 5.7

[ccx004]

I am trying to build Qt 5.7. The build fails at the configure stage with a vast quantity of errors related to the build of qmake. The details are as follows:

OS: Windows 8.1
Compiler: MinGW gcc --version gives 5.3.0
I have also installed Perl, Python and Ruby but the build never gets far enough to use them or at least I haven't seen any mention of them.

I am doing a shadow build and running configure with the following options.

..\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\configure -release -opensource -prefix c:\Local\Qt-5.7 -platform win32-g++ -plugin-sql-mysql -plugin-sql-sqlite -opengl dynamic -icu -platform win32-g++

However, I get exactly the same errors if I run configure with no parameters
Obviously lots of people have built QT 5.7 perfectly well so it must be something I have done wrong probably with setting up the development environment but I have no idea what it is. If anyone can suggest something I would appreciate it.

The results from running configure are: (with some repetition removed to reduce the size.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Not a direct answer, but I'd rather build Qt 5 with the MinGW provided by the installer, that way you should not get any surprises.

[ccx004]

Hello,

Thanks for the welcome and also the reply. That is a good idea. I'll give it a go now and report back.

@ccx004 Hi, Just to let you know that the qmake builds without any significant errors with the version of MinGW that is provided by the installer for the pre-built version of Qt. That version of MinGW and the one I downloaded have the same version numbers (i.e. 5.3) but they are obviously different in some other way - perhaps some extra libraries or header files. Anyway, I'll see if I can work out the differences tomorrow.

@SGaist Hi, Just to complete this. It needs to be built with MinGW-W64 and not MinGW-W32. It probably says this in big, bold letters somewhere and I missed it but just in case anyone else has the same problem, the errors I put in the first post are the errors you get when you build it with the 32 bit compiler.

Best wishes....
Colin Bruce
