    Hello,

    I'm doing a shadow build on Windows/VS2013 by switching to qtsrc\build_dev, then calling ..\configure -... and nmake from there.
    This puts everything (bin, lib, include etc.) into \build_dev.

    With Qt 5.5 I also ran nmake install afterwards.
    This put additional files into build_dev, like additional includes and mkspecs (required for VS add-in) from qtsrc root.
    Especially, there were these "convenience" headers now (those without extension), for example qtsrc\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore\QDate.
    This is nice because I can just write #include <QDate>.

    Now I'm doing the same with Qt 5.8 but after nmake install, no additional headers are put into build_dev (mkspecs are copied though)!
    So I'm missing the "convenience" headers and I have to write #include <qdatetime.h> instead..

    What am I doing wrong? Did something change regarding that with Qt >5.5?

    Thank you.

      What I found is that there are differences in a makefile, specifically:

      qtsrc\build_dev\qtbase\src\corelib\Makefile.Debug

      In Qt5.5.1, there are entries like this:

      ####### Install
      ...
      install_class_headers: first FORCE
      @if not exist D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore mkdir D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore & if not exist D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore exit 1
      -$(INSTALL_FILE) D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\qtbase\include\QtCore\QAbstractAnimation D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore
      -$(INSTALL_FILE) D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\qtbase\include\QtCore\QAnimationDriver D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore
      -$(INSTALL_FILE) D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\qtbase\include\QtCore\QAnimationGroup D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore
      ...
      -$(INSTALL_FILE) D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\qtbase\include\QtCore\QDate D:$(INSTALL_ROOT)\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\qtbase\include\QtCore
      

      In Qt5.8.0 these are missing entirely:

      ####### Install
      
      install:  FORCE
      
      uninstall:  FORCE
      
      FORCE:
      

      Does anyone know why and how I could install the headers correctly anyway?

        Hi,

        What parameters did you pass to configure ?

          Hi,

          I just tried with Qt 5.7.1 and it's the same issue.

          5.7.1 configuration:

          ..\configure -I D:\Programming\Libraries\OpenSSL\inc -L D:\Programming\Libraries\OpenSSL\lib\32\dyn OPENSSL_LIBS="-luser32 -ladvapi32 -lgdi32" OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="-lssleayMDd -llibeayMDd" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="-lssleayMDd -llibeayMDd"
          -opensource -confirm-license -debug -platform win32-msvc2013 -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-compile-examples
          
          -openssl-linked -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg
          
          -no-sql-sqlite -no-opengl -no-iconv -no-evdev -no-mtdev -no-inotify -no-eventfd -no-angle -no-incredibuild-xge -no-libproxy -no-dbus -no-wmf-backend -no-qml-debug -no-native-gestures -no-nis -no-cups
          
          -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtsvg -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwinextras -skip qt3d -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtcanvas3d -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtdoc -skip qtgamepad -skip qtgraphicaleffects -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlocation -skip qtmacextras -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtscript -skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qttranslations -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview -skip qtx11extras -skip qtxmlpatterns
          

          I used nearly the same config options for 5.5.1, modified just a few module skips.
          (Everything but qtbase and qttools is skipped)

            From which folder are you calling configure ?

              I've stated this already in the original post.

              I'm calling ..\configure & nmake & nmake install from D:\Programming\Libraries\Qt\build_dev\

              I'm using exactly the same steps for Qt 5.5.1 and 5.7.1. But nmake install doesn't copy headers with 5.7.1.

                It wasn't really clear that qtsrc was the root of the sources since all the source package uncompress in a way longer folder name.

                In any case, a real shadow build is outside the sources.

                If you want to have everything in the build folder then your have to add the -prefix option pointing to the build folder also.

                  Ahh, thanks. I really had to use -prefix (never used it before because it wasn't necessary..).
