Building Qt 5.6 from source against VC 2015

[dolevo]

Hi all,

I am trying to build QT 5.6.0 against Visual Studio 2015. I configured the Qt as follows:


configure -static -debug-and-release -commercial -confirm-license -opengl desktop -no-compile-examples -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -openssl-linked -I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include -L C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static OPENSSL_LIBS="-lUser32 -lAdvapi32 -lGdi32"

However, I got the following error after some time:



link /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /DEBUG /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS "/MANIFEST DEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.
0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*'" /MANIFEST:embed /OUT:debug\adueditor.exe @C:\Users\ayav\AppData\Local\Temp\nm3B66.tmp

Any thoughts?

Thanks. That's now fixed but now I bump into another one:

Qt CAN Bus is marked as a Technology Preview. From reading the documentation, it does not look like it is supported yet on Windows. You should exclude it from your configuration.
