Solved Building and linking Qt5.6.2 static windows with openssl and mingw4.9.2 ?

[stephane78]

Hi,
for internals purposes we need to build Qt static with mingw.before we used 5.3.2 but now we use 5.6.2 and we have problems with openssl and QtNetwork with 5.6.2 static.
the tools xmlpatterns doesn't build and if I use the libs of qtbase to build our project we have undefined reference with libQt5Network and openssl (we build Qt with openssl_linked and with the right "OPENSSL_LIBS=...") :

And I want to say that we haven't any problems with the dynamic version (because we distribute with Qt dynamic) but the static version of Qt5.6.2 with openssl has this problem

[SGaist]

Hi,

Are your OpenSSL libraries also built with the same compiler you are using to build Qt ?

[stephane78]

@SGaist Yes with the mingw4.9.2 (32 bits) of Qt5.6.2.
But the path of perl was not available during the build. is it the reason why it failed ?
I will try again with the path of perl in the environment variable path....

[stephane78]

@SGaist,ok it is stupid I have inverted the order : I have putted -lcrypto -lssl instead of -lssl -lcrypto.I should have put -lssl -lcrypto....the problem the compilation of Qt is already fast finished.I Hope I could invert in the makefile of my project......

[SGaist]

Right, the order is important when building something with static libs.

[stephane78]

@SGaist I could build a version (with -lssl -lcrypto) so my problem is solved.
