      So I just cloned qt today. I then updated/initialised the repo, configured it and then hit make (mingw32-make) and I got an error:

      g++ -c -fno-keep-inline-dllexport -msse2 -mstackrealign -mfpmath=sse -g -Og -std=c++1z -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -W -Wextra -Wvla -Wdate-time -Wshift-overflow=2 -Wduplicated-cond -Wno-stringop-overflow -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -DWIN32 -DMINGW_HAS_SECURE_API=1 -DWINVER=0x0601 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0601 -DQT_NO_USING_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_FOREACH -DQFLOAT16_INCLUDE_FAST -DQT_NO_NARROWING_CONVERSIONS_IN_CONNECT -DQT_BUILD_CORE_LIB -DQT_BUILDING_QT -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES -DQT_ASCII_CAST_WARNINGS -DQT_MOC_COMPAT -DQT_USE_QSTRINGBUILDER -DQT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS -DQT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x040800 -DPCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH=16 -DPCRE2_STATIC -I. -I../3rdparty/zlib/src -Iglobal -I../3rdparty/harfbuzz/src -I../3rdparty/md5 -I../3rdparty/md4 -I../3rdparty/sha3 -I../3rdparty -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include -I../3rdparty/double-conversion/include/double-conversion -I../3rdparty/tinycbor/src -I../../include -I../../include/QtCore -I../../include/QtCore/5.12.2 -I../../include/QtCore/5.12.2/QtCore -Itmp -I.moc/debug -I.tracegen/debug -I../3rdparty/pcre2/src -I../../mkspecs/win32-g++  -o .obj/debug/qmap.o tools/qmap.cpp

      tools/qcollator_p.h:57:10: fatal error: QVector: No such file or directory
       #include <QVector>
      

      I read a few posts, but I could not decipher what the solution is (unless its a bug in Qt). I am not using msys or anything like this - just bog-standard dos prompt (with conemu front end).

      Here are the exact steps I took (because I was writing them down as I went):

      1-Preparation

      • Get the qt source:

        • git clone https://github.com/qt/qt5.git qt5_git_repo
        • git submodule update --init --recursive
      • Download and install mingw64 (32 bit) from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/. I used options:

        • version 7.3.0
        • Arch i686
        • Threads posix
        • Exception dwarf
        • Build-rev 0

      NOTE: in the mingw folder there should be a mingw-xx.bat file to open an cmd prompt environment for gcc. Run this for all cmd prompts to do the following actions.

      2-Configuation

      • Open cmd prompt and cd into the qt git clone repo (using the mingw.bat to open the prompt).

      • configure -debug -opensource -static -static-runtime -skip webengine -no-pch -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake tools -accessibility -no-sql-sqlite -no-opengl -opengl desktop -platform win32-g++ -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -confirm-license -prefix "C:\install\Qt\5.12.1-static"

      3-Compilation

      • mingw32-make -j8 (THIS STEP FAILED)

      • mingw32-make install (NEVER GOT TO THIS STEP)

      Here is my path (printed on different lines for convienice):

      D:\install\conemu\ConEmu\Scripts
      D:\install\conemu
      D:\install\conemu\ConEmu

      On Linux systems you may be able to install libclang from a package. On macOS you could use Homebrew's llvm package.
      On Windows you need to set LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the installation path.
      
      Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'mingw32-make'.
      Once everything is built, you must run 'mingw32-make install'.

        Hi,

        What if you remove the -no-pch option ?

          thanks for your suggestion SGaist

          So I ran:

          • configure ... without -no-pch (pre-compiled headers I think?)
          • ming32-make -j8

          It started to recompile, but hit the same issue. Two questions for you:

          1. Do I need to clean the old configuration first?
          2. Do I need to do a make clean?
          3. Why do you suspect that -no-pch is a problem (just for my understanding)?

          I read somewhere that QVector is there, and if you replace the #include <QVector> with #include "qvector.h" that file then compiles - I tired this an it worked - but it just fails further on. <QDebug> is the next one - again if I lower-case it then that file compiles.

            1. Yes
            2. Better would be to use an out of source build
            3. Such an idee, since the header is missing I was wondering whether the generated headers were properly created and if that option could be responsible.

              @SGaist Ok - I am doing a git clean (at least for the top level) then a reconfigure.

              Weirdly ...-make clean seems to go on forever! stopped eventually.

              Sorry, what do you mean by out of source build - how do I do that (or link to how to do that)?

              Thanks :)

                As the name suggest, you build from a folder that is not in the sources.

                Unix style:

                cd /tmp
                mkdir build_qt
                cd build_qt
                /path/to/configure
                make
                make install
                

                It's easy to adapt to Windows.

                By the way, why not use the MinGW version provided with Qt ?

                  As it happens I was building 5.12.2 from source today. Long story short I hit the same problem you had, but in another module and another header. It was caused by a stale configuration cache file. So, run the "really clean tree" command from the wiki and it should fix itself. I do second @SGaist's advice to build out of the source tree, however!

                    @kshegunov Thanks for that, I was literally just trying to phrase a git command to clean everything - so that's a very timely reply : ))

                    I am not sure why I would have a stale config file though, since I checked out fresh, but I will definitely try this! - Also by using a "not in the source" build folder as @SGaist also mentioned then the stale config file issue should disappear anyway (I think) since its a fresh folder.

                    Anyway... trying now..

                      @SGaist With regard to the mingw that comes with qt - I did not see that in the repo? There is a folder called gnuwin32 but that just contains a few other tools - no gcc/make tools.

                          It's provided through the installer but right now I can't tell exactly where you can get it from outside of said installer.

                            There's no compiler in the repo. When building from git it's your responsibility to have to toolchain set up beforehand. @SGaist is thinking about the online installer for Qt, which indeed comes with a mingw distribution that can be used directly.

                              Could you post the configure summary as well, so we know what we're dealing with?

                                @SGaist @kshegunov Ah, ok, yes I have used that one in the past, but for re-compiling the whole project, I wanted to create a list of steps to be able to reproducibly compile qt statically. I fugured getting mingw tool chain from source forge to be the "cleanest" option (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ - v7.3.0)

                                Otherwise I have to install qt AND download the source from git!? ... do you think that would make a difference?

                                @kshegunov out of curiosity how did your static configure/build for 5.12.2 differ from what I was doing? (just looking for other ideas)

                                  You can install the source from the installer as well. But I doubt it'd make much of a difference.

                                  I don't build statically. It was not much different, though, I stick to minimalistic builds:

                                  $> git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git 5.12
                                  $> cd 5.12
                                  $> git checkout 5.12
                                  $> perl init-repository --module-subset=essential
                                  $> ./configure -developer-build -no-optimize-debug -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests
                                  $> make -j12
                                  

                                  from history. I didn't provide a prefix and did a -developer-build because I wanted to debug a module inside Qt itself. If you want this for application development the appropriate flags for configure are -debug -prefix <some-dir>

                                      Just tried a config like this configure -debug -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -static -static-runtime -skip webengine -prefix "C:\install\Qt\5.12.1-static" which more closley matches what @kshegunov mentioned - but I got the same error : (

                                        The configure seems okay to me. Very odd. Do you get the same if you don't do a static build?

                                        PS. Also try with forward slashes to exclude some path escaping nonsense. C:/install/Qt/5.12.1-static

                                          @kshegunov I just did this:

                                          • rm * -r (I have the linux like commands installed because I prefer them - but its still just a dos prompt)
                                          • configure -debug -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip webengine -prefix "C:/install/Qt/5.12.1-sharedlibs
                                          • mingw32-make -j8

                                          Same issue :((

                                          I am going to try exactly what you did! and see...

                                            Just be sure to run git submodule foreach --recursive "git clean -dfx" && git clean -dfx before each configure, to be completely certain there's no *.cache files left over from the previous attempt.
