configure.exe -no-webkit problem

[yaseminyilmaz]

Hi all,

I’ve tried to compile Qt 4.8.3 statically with MinGW. I’ve run configure.exe with the following options. But the process of the compilation has failed because of webkit although I’ve added the option of -no-webkit. How can I solve this problem?

configure.exe -static -release -opensource -confirm-license -platform win32-g++ -no-exceptions -no-qt3support -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -no-webkit -nomake tests -nomake demos -nomake examples

…
mingw32-make4: Leaving directory `C:/QtSTATIC/4.8.3/src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/WebKit/qt/tests/qwebframe’
mingw32-make3: Leaving directory `C:/QtSTATIC/4.8.3/src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/WebKit/qt/tests/qwebframe’

mingw32-make1: Leaving directory `C:/QtSTATIC/4.8.3/src/3rdparty/webkit/Source’

mingw32-make4: *** [release\tst_qwebframe.exe] Error 1

mingw32-make1: *** [sub-Webkit-qt-tests-make_default-ordered] Error 2

Thanks advance for your helps and explanations,

It would help if you posted the error message from the C++ compiler. All you have given us is that something failed causing make to stop although it seems that the build is still trying to make test from WebKit. Did you start from a clean copy of the source or one you had run "make confclean" on?

Hi,

I am not the original poster, but I have a similar problem. I have tried to compile QT 4.8.4 statically using minGW on Windows using the following configure command.

configure.exe -fast -nomake examples -nomake demos -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-qt3support -no-opengl -opensource -no-webkit -confirm-license

This was a virgin install, in other words straight from the zip file, no previous configure or make run. I have also re-tried having run mingw32-make confclean but that does the same thing.

The process failed with the following message:

It would appear that it is trying to compile a file called helpviewer_qwv.ccp that requires web kit objects. I think it has something to do with assistant, which I don't need. But I cannot work out how to prevent it from being built. All I need is a very basic static version of QT.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

If anyone is interested, I have found a work around for this bug. Don't compile to tools directory!

configure.exe -fast -nomake examples -nomake demos -nomake tools -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-qt3support -no-opengl -opensource -no-webkit -confirm-license

Not ideal, but I don't need any of the tools and the rest of it seems to build ok.
