Installing KArchive on QT 5.11.2 (MSVC 2015)

Hi,

@RobinQT said in Installing KArchive on QT 5.11.2 (MSVC 2015):

MINGW64

Are you mixing MinGW and Visual Studio ?

My bad. GitBash uses MINGW64 :) But if I use Qt 5.11.2 64-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2015) it gives me same error as above.

SGaist

How do you do it with Qt 5.11.2 ?

RobinQT

@SGaist I open open: Qt 5.11.2 64-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2015) and navigate to: E:\Karchive\extra-cmake-modules\build and enter:
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:
and receive the same error as above post.

I know I have both nmake.exe and cl.exe in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin

I also tried open up vsdevcmd.bat and navigate to E:\karchive\extra-cmake-modules\build and type:
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:

But at that time it can not recognize cmake, eventho it did it earlier. Path is in system variables.

This is the output of CMakeError.log: https://pastebin.com/5qA3jX13
This is the output of CMakeOutput.log:
The system is: Windows - 10.0.17134 - AMD64

It seems cmake is accessible from cmd.exe but not from Qt 5.11.2 64-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2015).

SGaist

Did you clean up between to cmake calls ?

One alternative you can try: open the project in Qt Creator, so you'll have everything setup to use Qt and the same compiler as Qt.

RobinQT

@SGaist There is not really a project to open. This is the files you get included: https://github.com/KDE/karchive from doing the fourth step from the guide: https://wiki.qt.io/Karchive_on_windows :)

@SGaist Made abit of progress, but still some errors. Any clue?

It seemed I had to set a path to:
@set "PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x64;%PATH%"
so it could reach rc.exe

SGaist

cmake not found is normal in the VS command prompt. You can use the full path to the executable to run it.
