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

[Cristian Adam]

Hi,

For some reason you don't get the minimal plugin built:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "minimal" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: windows.


What happens if you try to build it manually?

$ cmake --build . --target qminimal
[327/327 4.8/sec] Linking CXX shared module qtbase\plugins\platforms\qminimal.dll

Cheers,
Cristian.

Hello, Qt Development Team.

Just now, I think I made some progress. But I still can't fully build it correctly.
At least, the qttools module can be built successfully, so qdoc.exe is produced.

The following commands are what I test:

  1.  where gcc
  2.  set PATH=D:\Repo\tmp\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
  3.  where gcc
  4.  mkdir build\mingw-release && chdir build\mingw-release
  5.  ..\..\configure.bat -release -developer-build -submodules qtbase,qt5compat,qtsvg,qtimageformats,qtshadertools,qtdeclarative,qttools,qtquicktimeline,qtquick3d,qtserialport -nomake examples -nomake tests -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/Repo/tmp/libclang -DCMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Strawberry/c
  6.  cmake --build . --target docs --parallel 4  (failed)
  7.  cmake --build . --parallel 4  (failed)
  8.  cmake --build . --target qttools --parallel 4  (success to build, including qdoc.exe)
  9.  cmake --build . --target docs --parallel 4   (success to build part of docs, but still failed)
  10. ..\..\configure.bat -release -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/Repo/tmp/libclang -DCMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Strawberry/c
  11. cmake --build . --target docs --parallel 4  (stop at the same error as Step 9)

You can see the attachment with the full log: log-success-to-build-qttools-but-failed-to-build-docs.txt

Can you help me check what I'm still missing?
