    Previous Qt source packages for Windows contained a configure.exe file (located in the qtbase directory), which we ran in order to build Qt. Now it appears that qt-everywhere-src-5.11.1.zip does not have this file anymore. Is the file missing, or was it intentionally left out of the source package?

    Is it OK to use a configure.exe file from a previous version of Qt, for instance from Qt 5.7.1, to configure Qt 5.11.1?

        Thanks, @LeLev I replaced my configure.exe call by a configure.bat call, and it appear to work :-) It even seems to support the same command line options. Except for -qt-sql-odbc, which was accepted by Qt 5.7.1 configure.exe, but rejected by Qt 5.11.1, saying

        ERROR: Invalid value given for boolean command line option 'sql-odbc'.
        

        I guess -qt-sql-odbc is just obsolete now.

          Hi,

          AFAIK, no, it's not. However the configuration system got a revamp between 5.7 and 5.11. You should check the SQL related option using the --help option of configure.

            @SGaist Thanks! Indeed, it appears helpful to compare the output from Qt 5.7.1 configure.bat -help and Qt 5.11.1 configure.bat --help!

            Qt 5.7.1 said:

             -no-sql-<driver> ... Disable SQL <driver> entirely, by default none are 
                                 turned on.
            -qt-sql-<driver> ... Enable a SQL <driver> in the Qt Library.
            -plugin-sql-<driver> Enable SQL <driver> as a plugin to be linked to at run
                                 time.
                                 Available values for <driver>:
                                   mysql
                                   psql
                                   oci
                                   odbc
                                   tds
                                   db2
                                  sqlite
                                   sqlite2
                                   ibase
                                 (drivers marked with a '+' have been detected as available on this system)
            
            -system-sqlite ..... Use sqlite from the operating system.
            

            Whereas Qt 5.11.1 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 guess that means that I don't need to explicitly switch on sql-odbc anymore, as it already appears enabled by default, with Qt 5.11.1. :-)
