Error on ./configure script in qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6

[Hi_Be]

Hello koahnig,
thank you for your answer.

I type only ./configure in the main folder. In my previos message the term "-top-Level", is my error, when typing the message. In the terminal window is shown : ".../configure -top-level". Sorry.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What version of gcc do you have installed ?

[Hi_Be]

Hello SGaist,
thank you for your answert.

The version of gcc ist 6.3.0.

[Hi_Be]

When i download the qt-everywhere..-package and i try to run the
configure script and i got the error "'; did you mean '-ffunction-sections'?",
is it possible, that the package "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6" has
errors?

[SGaist]

Are you running a fully updated Debian installation ?

Just tested a fresh download of the Qt 5.9.6 archive, ran an out of source configure and make call and it's building fine.

[Hi_Be]

Hello SGaist,

i tried again:

1. Update Debian:

root@deb9onR86:/home/bernd# sudo apt update
Ign:1 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/debian stretch InRelease
OK:2 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/debian stretch-updates InRelease
OK:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease
OK:4 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/debian stretch Release
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.

Alle Pakete sind aktuell.

2. I did an new download of "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6" from "https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.9/5.9.6/single/"

3. First test:
   root@deb9onR86:/home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6# ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
   bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: Defekter Interpreter: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

4. Scipt configure opened mit KWrite. -> Extras ->EndofLine ->Unix and
   saving the File
   -the same procedure with configure-script in qtbase

5. Second test:

root@deb9onR86:/home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6# ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests

• cd qtbase
• /home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6/qtbase/configure -top-level -prefix /home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
  Creating qmake...
  ’; did you mean ‘-ffunction-sections’?
  .make: *** [project.o] Fehler 1

Did I something wrong?

@Hi_Be

Might be a stupid question, you downloaded the *.tar.xz ?

[Hi_Be]

@koahnig
I have downloaded the zip-File. Is there a diffence to the tar.xz-file*?

Yes, zip is to build on Windows

[Hi_Be]

@jsulm :
Ok, thank you, i thought it's another type of compression. I try it again.

[koahnig]

@Hi_Be

As @jsulm already wrote.

Typically people are downloading the smaller archive, but there is a difference in line endings and other stuff. Unfortnately are the different configure versions of both OS flavors included in both.

[Hi_Be]

Now, "./configure" seems to be working:

root@deb9onR86:/home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6# ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests

• cd qtbase
• /home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6/qtbase/configure -top-level -prefix /home/bernd/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.6/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
  Creating qmake...
  .Done.

Now I try make:

and after a long time comiling I got:

What is the matter for this error?

Thank you and best regards.

[SGaist]

Looks like the mapbox-gl-native building triggers a compiler bug. Did you install anything related to to Mapbox on your machine before building ?

[Hi_Be]

I am not aware of and it was not my intention. Can I check this or is it posible,
to take out of compilation?

Thank you and best regards.

[SGaist]

The most simple is: do you need all of Qt's module right now ? If not, then only build the one you are going to use. It's going to take less time and disk space.

[Hi_Be]

No, you are right, i did not Need all modules. But there are 2 Problems.
First, if i want to skip a module, where i got the right name as skip-parameter,
because the module-names on the QT-Webseite delivers an error. For example for the
module "Qt SQL" -skip qt sql or -skip qt_sql or -skip sql doesn't work.

Second, is it possible to add later the module again, if nessecary?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html#excluding-qt-modules and
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#building-the-drivers
You should see all options with running

configure -help

Second, is it possible to add later the module again, if nessecary?

Yes

[Hi_Be]

Sorry, may be a missunderstandig of mine, but

in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/configure-options.html#excluding-qt-modules
is discripted:
Excluding Qt Modules¶

Configure's -skip option allows top-level source directories to be excluded from the Qt build. Note that many directories contain multiple Qt modules. For example, to exclude Qt NFC and Qt Bluetooth from the Qt build, provide -skip qtconnectivity as the argument to configure.

./configure -skip qtconnectivity

and when i look under QT-Modules (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmodules.html) i see:

The following table lists the Qt essentials:

Module

Description

Qt Core Core non-graphical classes used by other modules.
Qt GUI Base classes for graphical user interface (GUI) components. Includes OpenGL.
Qt Multimedia Classes for audio, video, radio and camera functionality.
Qt Multimedia Widgets Widget-based classes for implementing multimedia functionality.
Qt Network Classes to make network programming easier and more portable.
Qt QML Classes for QML and JavaScript languages.
Qt Quick A declarative framework for building highly dynamic applications with custom user interfaces.
Qt Quick Controls 2 Provides lightweight QML types for creating performant user interfaces for desktop, embedded, and mobile devices. These types employ a simple styling architecture and are very efficient.
Qt Quick Dialogs Types for creating and interacting with system dialogs from a Qt Quick application.
Qt Quick Layouts Layouts are items that are used to arrange Qt Quick 2 based items in the user interface.
Qt Quick Test A unit test framework for QML applications, where the test cases are written as JavaScript functions.
Qt SQL Classes for database integration using SQL.
...

Can you give me a example, how the Modul QT SQL could be excluded and where
i found the argument for skip?
May be, i understand this better.
Thank you.

@Hi_Be

You can check out what the proper options is by

./configure -help

Under windows is says:

Database options:

  -sql-<driver> ........ Enable SQL <driver> plugin. Supported drivers:
                         db2 ibase mysql oci odbc psql sqlite2 sqlite tds
                         [all auto]
  -sqlite .............. Select used sqlite3 [system/qt]

I would use the prefix "-no" which would be "-no-sql-mysql" according to this help text.

[SGaist]

To shorten things, start by only building qtbase, then you can continue with the other modules.
