QT 5.7 MSVC 2015 Static Builds Not Working

Crag_Hack

I'm having trouble using my QT 5.7 MSVC 2015 static builds, both 32-bit and 64-bit. This is the commands I run and the output I get (tested with 32 bit as well):

C:\Users\Josh>set PATH=C:\Qt\static\Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015_Static_x64\bin;%PATH%

C:\Users\Josh>cd "\Users\Josh\Mozy Sync\ReplicatorNew\ReplicatorNew"

C:\Users\Josh\Mozy Sync\ReplicatorNew\ReplicatorNew>qmake ReplicatorNew.pro
Could not find qmake configuration file win32-msvc2015.
Error processing project file: ReplicatorNew.pro

Configure was run with the following:

configure -debug-and-release -confirm-license -platform win32-msvc2015 -opengl desktop -static -target xp -nomake examples -no-compile-examples -nomake tests -prefix C:\Qt\static\MSVC2015_Static_x86 -openssl -L C:\OpenSSL-win32\lib -l libeay32 -l ssleay32 -I C:\OpenSSL-win32\include -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib

configure -debug-and-release -confirm-license -platform win32-msvc2015 -opengl desktop -static -nomake examples -no-compile-examples -nomake tests -prefix C:\Qt\static\MSVC2015_Static_x64 -openssl -L C:\OpenSSL-win64\lib -l libeay32 -l ssleay32 -I C:\OpenSSL-win64\include -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib

Also definitely verified win32-msvc2015 was in the mkspecs directory. I couldn't find much on Google so I post here in hope of help. Thanks. I'm hoping it's simple like I left out a directory to put in the path environment variable...

Turns out the problem was I renamed the QT static build directory after the build, which broke it. Quick fix: rename it to its original configure -prefix name.

@Crag_Hack Does this path contain blanks?

PATH=C:\Qt\static\Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015_Static_x64\bin;%PATH%

You should avoid such paths or at least use "":

PATH="C:\Qt\static\Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015_Static_x64\bin";%PATH%

Another thing C:\Qt\static\MSVC2015_Static_x64 is different to C:\Qt\static\Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015_Static_x64

Thanks jsulm. I get the same results with quotes as without. Also I renamed those configure dirs after the build completed. See here:

C:\Users\Josh>set PATH="C:\Qt\static\Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015_Static_x86\bin";C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2015;%PATH%

C:\Users\Josh>cd "\Users\Josh\Mozy Sync\ReplicatorNew\ReplicatorNew"

C:\Users\Josh\Mozy Sync\ReplicatorNew\ReplicatorNew>qmake ReplicatorNew.pro
Could not find qmake configuration file win32-msvc2015.
Error processing project file: ReplicatorNew.pro

I decided not to use quotes because other guys in my path didn't either like this fellow:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common

Also I've been having trouble installing the "common tools" guy even after a complete VS uninstall and reinstall if it makes a difference... After I install when I go back to the change install screen below it never persists. I thus have no access to the VS command prompt shortcuts and have been forced to use vcvarsall.bat.
