Compilation 5.6.2 failed, VS2013

tgru

Hi,

I tried to compile 5.6.2 on Windows with just configure.bat (no further options).
It is working for 5.6.0 but for 5.6.2 the compilation of zlib is somehow missing (linker errors for moc.exe: z_compress2 and z_uncompress are missing)
Both Windows 7/10 and Visual Studio 2013.

Generated qtbase\src\Makefile for 5.6.0:

...
SUBTARGETS    =  \
		sub-zlib \
		sub-bootstrap \
		sub-moc \
		sub-rcc \
		sub-3rdparty-pcre \
                ...

Generated qtbase\src\Makefile for 5.6.2:

...
SUBTARGETS    =  \
		sub-bootstrap \
		sub-moc \
		sub-rcc \
		sub-3rdparty-pcre \
                ...

Is there something I missed?

Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi,

That's surprising indeed. What if you pass -qt-zlib to your configure call ?

tgru

Same effect. I just typed this without some clean or so?

There is always:

...
Third Party Libraries:
    ZLIB support............qt
    GIF support.............plugin
    JPEG support............plugin
    PNG support.............yes
    ...

I also have some warning (is this important??)

The last four lines are not there in 5.6.0

When calling configure, you should always do it from a clean state.

tgru

Just found clean and so on. To be sure I freshly unzipped in a new folder, used

configure.bat -qt-zlib
nmake

and still have no sub-zlib.

Two questions:

Could you compile 5.6.2 with VS2013??
What can I do to see whats wrong? Is there some verbose mode to compare the differences between 5.6.0 and 5.6.2?

Thanks again
Thomas

SGaist

Yes, you can add the -v flag to configure to make it verbose..

tgru

I've looked at the output of

qmake -d src.pro

but without seeing something.
