After various experimentation I was able to build QT 6.3.1 with OpenSSL for Windows with the following steps:
Extract archives with Bash:
tar -xzf ../distrib/openssl-1.1.1q.tar.gz
tar -xf ../distrib/qt-everywhere-src-6.3.1.tar.xz
Building OpenSSL 1.1.1q
Run the following commands with x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\dev\PFiles\nasm-2.15.05
perl Configure VC-WIN64A
if you got something like this
**********************************************************************
*** ***
*** OpenSSL has been successfully configured ***
*** ***
*** If you encounter a problem while building, please open an ***
*** issue on GitHub <https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues> ***
*** and include the output from the following command: ***
*** ***
*** perl configdata.pm --dump ***
*** ***
*** (If you are new to OpenSSL, you might want to consult the ***
*** 'Troubleshooting' section in the INSTALL file first) ***

build it:
set CL=/MP
nmake
and install as administrator:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\dev\PFiles\nasm-2.15.05

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/Qt6.3.1/windows'
To configure and build other Qt modules, you can use the following convenience script:
C:/dev/libs/Qt6.3.1/windows/bin/qt-configure-module.bat
If reconfiguration fails for some reason, try removing 'CMakeCache.txt' from the build directory
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: C:/dev/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.3.1
Build it and install:
cmake --build . --parallel
ninja install
Both OpenSSL and QT depend on Runtime DLLs:
Probably I’l try -static-runtime QT option next time.
Notes
- QT did not build with OpenSSL installed to non-default directory.
- I exclueded
qttoolsandqttranslationsmodules that did not built this time, soLinguistToolsmodule can’t be used, for example.
Setting up QT Creator 8.0
Could you please show us how to compile Qt with ICU support?
From docs: At compile time, the include and lib folders of the ICU installation must be appended to the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables. Did you try this?
