Qt 5.0.2 static buliding error

[tangtao_xp]

Hi,

My environment is:

win7 64bit sp1
src code: qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2.zip



Path = D:\Program Files\python3.3.2\;D:\Perl64\site\bin;D:\Perl64\bi n;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\ System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerSh ell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bi n;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin;D:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin;%JBOSS_HOME%\bin;D:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;D:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\ Tools\MinGW\bin;D:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\5.0.1\mingw47_32\bin ;D:\Qt\qwt-6.1-rc3\setup\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Progr am Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\


I had alreadly installed qt sdk (binary) at D:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\ , therefore, I used the default mingw in Qt5.0.1\mingw47_32 to complie the source code.



my configure cmd is:

configure.bat -confirm-license -opensource -platform win32-g++ -release -static -ltcg -c++11 -fast -prefix "D:\Qt\Qt5.0.2-rel-static" -accessibility -rtti -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-sql-odbc -plugin-sql-sqlite -plugin-sql-odbc -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -audio-backend -nomake docs -opengl desktop -no-qml-debug -no-vcproj -no-dbus -nomake tests -nomake examples -nomake demos -qt-freetype

mingw32-make




error is:

Maybe it's not exactly answer to your question, becouse it is for compiling with msvc, not with MinGW, but it worked for me.

I had the same error when compiling with MinGW. After a whole day compiling with MinGW i switched to msvc and after some amount of time i compiled it succesfully. I managed to compile QT versions 4.7.0, 5.0.2 (downloaded from git) and 5.1 beta.

I followed strictly to this guide (note that starting with QT5 versions make configurations were moved to \qtbase folder):
http://blog.diplix.de/2011/08/23/qt-with-visual-studio-2010-and-static-linking/

Also when installing Visial Studio i put it in folder name without spaces (don't know if that was reason for not working earlier, becouse it wasn't the only thing that i changed in first succesful build, but it's not a bad idea).
The path was then:

C:\msvc10.0\VC\bin

So my configure options were

configure -static -debug-and-release -opensource -qt-sql-sqlite -platform win32-msvc2010 -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop

After installing everything and changing build configurations in Qt Creator i managed to compile statically all Qt libraries in one executable file but not Visual C++ runtime libraries ("could not find msvcr100.dll" error after launching app on different computer), despite building Qt statically with "-MT" option configuration in qmake.conf.
All then i had to do was adding following line in .pro file to include this library:

INCLUDEPATH += C:\msvc10.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\X64\msvcr100 .dll

After that i can run app on different computer.

Hope that helps

Hi, arekp

Thank you for your friendly help.

Actually, I passed the static compiling in another way:

- I do not use the standalone source code package published by Qt official website. I used the source code that carried with the 5.0.2 binary setup package.(select the full installation, source code will be in, for example, D:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\Src)

- I found that the code from the binary package is very easy to compile, and doesn't like the standalone code has so many strange error when compiling.

-----------------------------------------------------------

another question I had found in binary package code compiling: it does not provide qml2(qt quick 2) moudle.
pls refer to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-28357

Does anyone got the problem soloved?


Thank you in advance.
