Posted by | Development environments, Windows |

In CMake Tools extension settings I specified my CMake path:

Building QT6.4 on Windows for Android with OpenSSL and clang 12

Posted by | Android, QT, Windows | Tagged |

My mistake was that while building QT6.4 on Windows for Android I tried to set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR as an environment variable that doesn’t take an effect. Now I set it as an argument:

C:\dev\build\qta
  
set "CMAKE_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin"
set "MINGW_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\x86_64-12.2.0-release-win32-seh-rt_v10-rev0\mingw64\bin"
set "PYTHON_ROOT=C:\dev\PFiles\Python35"
set "JDK_ROOT=C:\dev\libs\jdk-19\bin"
          
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%MINGW_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PERL_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PYTHON_ROOT%;%PATH%
