[Development] Failed to run configure.bat in qt/qt5 repository on Windows?

[Alexey Edelev]

Hi Haowei Hsu,

>From the log it's clear that qtgraphs has the newer version than the qtbase and other repos. I'm not sure why cleaning qt5 repo didn't help.

Try remove the 'qtgraphs' directory manually to make sure it's not included into top-level qt configuring process. You also may try to add '-skip qtgraphs' argument to the '..\configure' command. If the issue occurs again with other repo, do the same.

Regards,
Alexey

Hello, Alexey.
Thanks for your reply. However, even though I run 'git clean -xdf' before '..\configure.bat',
the error still showed up. The following commands are what I tried:

  1.  rmdir /s/q build
  2.  git status
  3.  git clean -xdf
  4.  git submodule update --recursive
  5.  mkdir build && chdir build
  6.  ..\configure.bat

What happened?

Hi Haowei Hsu,
you cloned the full Qt repo recursively at first step, so some modules that are only available in 'dev', such as qtgraphs were cloned too. After you checked out v 6.5.2 those repos remain on file system as free-floating sources without version control.
Calling 'git clean -xdf' as step 5b should remove those leftovers.

The error that you see means that some modules have incompatible version, so the root cause of this behavior I described above.

Regards,
Alexey

Subject: [Development] Failed to run configure.bat in qt/qt5 repository on Windows?

Hello, Qt Development Team.

Recently, I tried to configure the qt/qt5<https://github.com/qt/qt5> repository. The following commands
are what I use to configure the project according to its README.md:

  1.  git clone --recursive https://github.com/qt/qt5.git
  2.  chdir qt5
  3.  git status
  4.  git checkout v6.5.2
  5.  git submodule update --recursive
  6.  vcvarsall.bat x64
  7.  configure.bat

However, it turns out that there are some errors occurred.
What do I miss? How to fix these errors?

NOTE: Currently, I just want to build Qt's Documentation instead of the
whole Qt's artifacts.
