Building QT6.4 with qttranslation module for Windows

Posted by | QT |

I was able to successfully build QT6.4 for Windows with skipped qttranslation and qttools modules. But if I do not skip them and configure QT as follows:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
    
set "CMAKE_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\cmake-3.24.0-rc4-windows-x86_64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin"
    
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PERL_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\dev\PFiles\Python35;%PATH%
    
rem Check if the tools are in PATH
where perl.exe
where python.exe
where cmake.exe
where ninja.exe
    
set MY_QT_SRC_DIR=C:\dev\repos\qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0
set "MY_INSTALL_PATH=C:/dev/libs/Qt6.4/windows"
set CL=/MP

%MY_QT_SRC_DIR%\configure.bat -prefix %MY_INSTALL_PATH% -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -platform win32-msvc -opensource -confirm-license ^
  -c++std c++20 -static -static-runtime -I "C:/Program Files/OpenSSL/include" -L "C:/Program Files/OpenSSL/lib" -openssl-linked ^
  -skip qt3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtcoap -skip qtconnectivity ^
  -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtlottie -skip qtmqtt -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtopcua ^
  -skip qtserialport -skip qtpositioning -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtquick3d -skip qtremoteobjects ^
  -skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -skip qtwayland ^
  -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview -skip qtquick3dphysics -skip qtspeech

I get the following configuration errors:

  Note: Using static linking will disable the use of dynamically loaded plugins. Make sure to import all needed static plugins, or compile needed modules into the library.
Note: When linking against OpenSSL, you can override the default library names through OPENSSL_LIBS. For example: OPENSSL_LIBS='-L/opt/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto' ./configure -openssl-linked

WARNING: Basic cpp/winrt support missing. Some features might not be available.
WARNING: QDoc will not be compiled, probably because libclang could not be located. This means that you cannot build the Qt documentation.
Either set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or LLVM_INSTALL_DIR to the location of your llvm installation.
On Linux systems, you may be able to install libclang by installing the libclang-dev or libclang-devel package, depending on your distribution.
On macOS, you can use Homebrew's llvm package.
You will also need to set the FEATURE_clang CMake variable to ON to re-evaluate this check.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'cmake --build . --parallel'

Once everything is built, you must run 'ninja install'
Qt will be installed into 'C:/dev/libs/Qt6.4/windows'

To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script:
        C:/dev/libs/Qt6.4/windows/bin/qt-configure-module.bat

If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory

g C++ libraries have not been found.
You will need to set the FEATURE_clangcpp CMake variable to ON to re-evaluate this check.

    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_without_Buttons.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Main_Window.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Widget.ui"
)

I commented this repeating dialog out:

set(shared_resource_files
    "shared/defaultgradients.xml"
    "shared/icon-naming-spec.txt"
    #"shared/templates/forms/240x320/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/240x320/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/320x240/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/320x240/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/480x640/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/480x640/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/640x480/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    #"shared/templates/forms/640x480/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_with_Buttons_Bottom.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_with_Buttons_Right.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Dialog_without_Buttons.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Main_Window.ui"
    "shared/templates/forms/Widget.ui"
)

and the error went away.

Updating CMake to cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64 also helps.

    Can’t build qttranslations without qttools:
    Module ‘qttranslations’ depends on ‘qttools’, but building ‘qttools’ was
    explicitly disabled.
