[Solved] Problem building Qt statically in Windows
-
Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a small project by creating an executable file that works out of the box in Windows, so I need to compile Qt sources statically. I use the following configure command:
@
configure -release -static -platform win32-g++ -nomake examples -nomake demos -no-exceptions -no-stl -no-rtti -no-qt3support -no-scripttools -no-openssl -no-opengl -no-webkit -no-phonon -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-plastique -no-sql-sqlite -no-declarative -qt-sql-mysql -I C:\mysql\include -L C:\mysql\lib\opt -l mysql
@Then I run mingw32-make. After some time compiling (more than half an hour, just in case that's relevant) I get the following output:
@
[...]
g++ -c -Os -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -Wall -fno-rtti -DUNICODE -DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -DQDOC2_COMPAT -DQT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_HAVE_MMX -DQT_HAVE_3DNOW -DQT_HAVE_SSE -DQT_HAVE_MMXEXT -DQT_HAVE_SSE2 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_NO_DYNAMIC_CAST -I"....\include\QtCore" -I"....\include\QtXml" -I"....\include" -I"c:\mysql\include" -I"....\include\QtDeclarative" -I"declarativeparser" -I"....\include\ActiveQt" -I"tmp\moc\release_static" -I"....\mkspecs\win32-g++" -o tmp\obj\release_static\cppcodemarker.o cppcodemarker.cpp

@Can anybody give me any hints about what's wrong?
Some additional info: I work in Windows 7, and I use gcc + MinGW to compile. The Qt sources are version 4.7.4, and I include the Qt MySQL plugin and the MySQL library.

you should restrict the static build on the libs.
Have a look at "this wiki page":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_build_a_static_Qt_version_for_Windows_with_gcc -
I found your problem description via Google. Had the same error message on Mac OS but I tried to compile to a shared library. The problem in my case was related to the -no-stl option (isAlpha) seems to be an STL function). By removing -no-stl from the configure line the problem was solved for me.

[quote author="Gerolf" date="1316007292"]Regard the changes, that the wiki article describe. without them, itv was not compilable, as some modules do not support static building by default.[/quote]
Yeah, I applied them, except the one related to the WebKit, which I don't use.

[/quote]I was a bit puzzled about that, cause I thought isAlpha was part of the standard C library, and not of STL. Maybe I got something wrong... But anyway, restricting the compilation to just the Qt libraries, as suggested by Gerolf, solved the problem for me.
Thank you all for your replies.

To correct
cppcodemarker.cpp:950: error: 'isalpha' was not declared in this scope
cppcodemarker.cpp:956: error: 'isalnum' was not declared in this scope
cppcodemarker.cpp:973: error: 'isdigit' was not declared in this scope
cppcodemarker.cpp:977: error: 'isalnum' was not declared in this scopeIn tools/qdoc3/cppcodemarker.cpp
just add
#include "ctype.h"
to the list of #includes at the start of the fileThis fixed it for my system
