Cannot build Qt 5.11.0 due to missing wayland libraries (On ubuntu 16.04)
-
When running make with the following configuration:
sudo ./configure -v -static -prefix "/home/james/Qt/5.11.0_Static" -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-xcb -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -confirm-license -egl -opengl es2 -skip waylandI get the following errors during build:

-skip wayland, I still have dependancies for it. Does anyone know what the issue is here? My understanding is that wayland is only on Ubnutu from 17.04. I don't really want to manually build wayland on my machine, but rather just skip it.I'm using Elementary OS (Loki) which is based on Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi,
Did you add
-skip waylandafter the build failed or did you do a completely new build ?
-
@SGaist I ran
sudo make clean, then ranconfigureandmakeagain.
-
I would do an out of source build so if there's trouble with the build you can nuke it start from fresh without possible artefact affecting the detection and build process.

@SGaist Yup, that was it! I redownloaded the source code, ran an out-of-source build, and the error is now gone and make ran all the way through with no issues.
Thanks for the quick help!
