Hello,

My configure is simple :

configure -debug -prefix D:\code\qt\5.11.2\5.11.2\bin -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtconnectivity -no-feature-accessibility -opensource

Linker have not enough memory ... strange ?

Hi,

QtWebEngine is a pretty big module to build.

Any reason not to use the pre-built 32bit Qt VS 2015 version ? VS2017 is backward compatible with VS2015.

cfdev

For the pre-build VS2015 version, my software does'nt compile VC2017 + Qt pre build Lib VC2015... And on my win10 I can't anymore install MVC2015 only MVC2017 :(

I compiled successfull by closing all applications what I could... :D
3Go RAM free are necessary... But

I use QSslsocket, I see by default configure enable "-openssl-linked". How to specify the path ?
In Global VAR OPENSSL_LIBS ?? with D:\code\tools\OpenSSL-Win32\lib or D:\code\tools\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC ?

Thanks @SGaist

SGaist

AFAIK, it's -openssl-runtime that is the default. IIRC, you can also use the -I and -L options. Note that these requires a space unlike the same options passed to the compiler/linker.

@cfdev said in Build Qt5.11.2 x86 libraries with VS 2017:

3Go RAM free are necessary... But

@SGaist thanks it's solved!, but expect 4Go RAM free instead !!

Hello,

I have the same issue for build Qt 5.14.2 with VS 2017 on a workstation with 16GB of RAM. I suspect that the build is using 32 bits version of VS compiler and linker which cannot handle more than 4 GB of RAM even if the environment has more.

Does anyone knows how I could check my assumption and more interestingly force the use of x64 architecture for compiler and linker. I tried to set PreferredToolArchitecture=x64 but it does not seem to be enough.
