vs2015 errors with (git) source code

[jan marco alkema]

Ls,

My Pc: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.7.02556

I get the source code on 21-04-2018 with:

git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git

configure -developer-build -opensource

nmake

I get first error:
qsharedimageloader.cpp line 176 sign/insigned mismatch

I solved with:
//if (size > std::numeric_limits<int>::max())
size_t size_jma = std::numeric_limits<int>::max();
if (size > size_jma)

Second error:

qdeclarativetextinput.cpp
graphicsitems\qdeclarativetextinput.cpp(517): error C2039: 'setCursorBlinkPeriod': is not a member of 'QWidgetLineControl'
c:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtbase\include\qtwidgets\5.11.0\qtwidgets\private../../../../../src/widgets/widgets/qwidgetlinecontrol_p.h(82): note: see declaration of 'QWidgetLineControl'

I "solved error" by commenting the line number 517 :

//d->control->setCursorBlinkPeriod(on?QApplication::cursorFlashTime():0);

Last error:

Maybe that someone has advise for me.

Have you initialized Qt repository? Here's the guide: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

[kshegunov]

Also, what branch is this?

[jan marco alkema]

@sierdzio

git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git

qt5vars2.bat
configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests

First i downlaod the qt code with git, after that, I run qt5vars1.bat and qt5vars2.bat
nmake

@jan-marco-alkema Where is

perl init-repository

as described in the link @sierdzio posted?

[jan marco alkema]

@jsulm said in vs2015 errors with (git) source code:

perl init-repository

I read the manual as if you what something else (not default) you must do the 'perl init repository' command. See :

I used standard git source code ("branch") download:

[sierdzio]

Repo init is still necessary (unless you download source code as .zip archive). Please run it.

Regarding your error, pass the flag -no-warnings-as-errors (check in configure help if I remember the syntax correctly) to silence this warning/error.

-warnings-are-errors . Treat warnings as errors [no; yes if -developer-build]

There sees to be no "-no-warnings-as-errors" configure option.

The 'warning as errors' comes from the "-developer-build" configure option.

A little bit strange to compile the source code not as "-developer-build". I will try it with "-developer-build" configure option removed.

[sierdzio]

Yes you can skip the -developer-build. But I'm pretty sure the -no-warnings-as-errors exists as well, even though it may be unlisted. Configure help states in the beginning that most flags can be negated with -no.

[kshegunov]

@jan-marco-alkema said in vs2015 errors with (git) source code:

The 'warning as errors' comes from the "-developer-build" configure option.

Because -developer-build is for when you're building Qt to contribute to its codebase. Use -debug or -release and specify -prefix directory so make install succeeds.

Did you check out a specific version of Qt? See your earlier screenshot:

Call these commands to clean out your old files and check out a proper version:

> git clean -dfx
> git submodule foreach "git clean -dfx"
> git checkout v5.10.1
> git submodule update

After that, delete C:\dev\persinfonet\Qt_all\Kits\Qt57MSVC2015_32bit and try building again.

[SGaist]

Hi,

From the looks of it, you didn't checkout all modules at 5.10.1, did you ?

[JKSH]

OK, I just realized that qdeclarativetextinput.cpp is from qtquick1.git which is deprecated. QWidgetLineControl::setCursorBlinkPeriod() has indeed been removed, which breaks the build: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/?id=1b5bc9723c0b23ca5197097c3087df6bbe024a2a

Does anyone know the proper way to omit qtquick1.git from the repo initialization?

@jan-marco-alkema Follow the steps from my previous post again (but you don't need to run TortoiseGit or call init-repository anymore). This time, also delete C:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtquick1\ before you run configure. Now, Visual Studio won't try to build broken code.

Nmake

QT-seems to compile in proper manner:

There is no directory: C:\dev\persinfonet\Qt_all\Kits\Qt57MSVC2015_32bit

92 qt applications (executables):

[SGaist]

What if you use jom.exe install ?

[jan marco alkema]

@SGaist

I put in my system path:
C:\dev\persinfonet\qt5\qtbase\bin
C:\dev\persinfonet\jom\bin

I see Jomd.exe application:

Jomd doesnot work because jomd uses qt dll's, which have to be build by compiling QT.

"Workaround": I should compile with nmake. After nmake compiling, i must copy QT exe and dll files to another place ("C:\dev\persinfonet\Qt_all\Kits\Qt57MSVC2015_32bit" ?)

[SGaist]

Jom is already provided with Qt, somewhere under the Qt Creator folder.

@SGaist said in vs2015 errors with (git) source code:

Jom is already provided with Qt, somewhere under the Qt Creator folder.

I like to compile QT from source. N.B. If I use windows QT installer i will get jom.exe

I did execute the commands:
jomd
jomd install

Now i get the Qt57MSV2015_32bit directory. Maybe i forgot "nmake install" in the nmake solution.
