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

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%
set PATH=%JDK_ROOT%;%PATH%

My attempt to build OpenSSL for Android on Windows

I tried to build OpenSSL for Android with the following commands in Windows Command Prompt:

cd C:\dev\repos\openssl-1.1.1r

set MY_NDK_DIR=C:\Users\dmitr\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\23.1.7779620

set MY_CLANG_DIR=%MY_NDK_DIR%\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin
set MY_CMAKE=%MY_NDK_DIR%\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\make.exe
set MY_PERL_DIR=C:\dev\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin

set PATH=%MY_CLANG_DIR%;%MY_PERL_DIR%;%PATH%

set "MY_ANDROID_BUILD_ABI=x86_64"
rem set "MY_ANDROID_BUILD_ABI=x86"
rem set "MY_ANDROID_BUILD_ABI=arm64"
rem set "MY_ANDROID_BUILD_ABI=arm"

set MY_INSTALL_ROOT_DIR=C:/dev/libs/OpenSSL-android
set MY_INSTALL_DIR=%MY_INSTALL_ROOT_DIR%/%MY_ANDROID_BUILD_ABI%

set ANDROID_NDK_HOME=%MY_NDK_DIR%

# Set compiler clang, instead of gcc by default

OpenVPN in a Docker container

Run a docker container:

export MY_IP=$(curl -s https://api.ipify.org)

sudo docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -p 1194:1194/udp -e HOST_ADDR=$MY_IP --name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn

or

sudo docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -p 1194:1194/udp -e HOST_ADDR=$MY_IP --name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn -v openvpn_conf:/opt/Dockovpn_data

to persist generated files in volume storage.

Type Ctrl+P then Ctrl+Q to turn interactive mode to daemon mode.

Determine its IP address:

sudo docker ps
sudo docker inspect dockovpn | grep IPAddress

Building BOOST with MSVC2022

I built BOOST with MSVC2022 in a similar way I built it with MSVC2017 except that I did install, but not stage:

cd C:\dev\repos\boost_1_80_0

set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:/dev/libs/OpenSSL
set OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON

bootstrap.bat

b2 install --prefix=C:/dev/libs/boost_1_80_0 --toolset=msvc-14.3 link=static runtime-link=static variant=release address-model=64
b2 install --prefix=C:/dev/libs/boost_1_80_0 --toolset=msvc-14.3 link=static runtime-link=static variant=debug address-model=64

I am not sure if OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR takse an effect because boost::asio is header-only (but it depends on system and thread modules).

Building QT6.4 with OpenSSL for Windows – iteration #2

Install build tools, build OpenSSL as described in my previous post, extract QT sources with Bash:

tar -xf ../distrib/qt-everywhere-src-6.4.0.tar.xz

Configure QT as follows:

Building my app with QT6.4 on MacOs

I built QT6.4 and downloaded and installed QT Creator 8.0.1 and copied it to my MacOs machine:

scp qt-creator-opensource-mac-x86_64-8.0.1.dmg admin@192.168.0.112:/Users/admin/Downloads

QT Creator started successfully because I made .config folder writable while running my app with QT6.2. I added QT versions and kits:
