4.6.3 configure with or without Webkit gives Webkit like error

I first ran configure with the "-webkit" flag, but got install errors (similar to the below, maybe the exact same.)

After doing a successful "nmake confclean", I fixed my .cache file to now contain "-no-webkit" instead of "-webkit".

I successfully ran "configure -loadconfig myConfigureFile.cache" and after doing nmake I get warnings like the following ...

Code:

---

C:\Qt\2010.04\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\WebCore\accessibility\AXObjectCache.h(139)
: warning C4100: 'postToElement' : unreferenced formal parameter

---

and followed by a termination while compiling/linking with the following ...

(BTW: the above is the last compile/link portion before erroring out.)

I see that some kind of Webkit thing is being built. I've heard that Qt Webkit port is hard to build so some people don't load it. I did not when I had the 4.5.2 install last year.

Why is it trying to build WebKit when I tell it not to?

Could it be that there's something that I have configured to install that requires Webkit?

I could just not mention it in the configure.cache file and see if that works.

I am building this for msvc-2008 on a XP x64 Pro box, if that makes a difference.


Thanks!!!

Did you run "make distclean" prior to rebuilding Qt?

I haven't tried "nmake distclean".

I will give that a shot later tonight and post the results.

I am assuming that it needs to be ran after "nmake confclean" but prior to "configure ..."

Is that correct?

Thanks!

It's irrelevant whether you run it after or before it. It will clean all generated files and leave you with a pristine source tree (with exception to config.status and such).

I humbly offer a belated thanks for your assistance.

I was never able to get 2010.04 to nmake successfully, although there were a few rabbit holes to delve to get me there. I did try "nmake distclean" several times to no avail.

I did however get the 4.6.3 libraries to configure and nmake. (The make took about 6 hours.)

I discovered that the libraries come with a lot of tools, qmake being the one I wanted most. I was led to believe from the Qt site that qmake is one of the tools that comes with the SDK only from http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools, a link describing QtCreators cross-compile features. I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case.

Anyhow, I was able to build with Qt's Webkit in this case. The following is my configuration setup in case anyone wishes to see it (I am running on a XP Pro x64 box targeting windows and using the win32-msvc2008 compiler):

Code:

---

Note that many of these settings are defaults. I like a descriptive configuration file that tells what the setup is (although I keep a copy of the "configuration -help" of each version too).

Thanks again. Next stop, installing and making 4.7 libs this weekend.
