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

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

Looking at the log, it appears that mingw's windres.exe can't handle spaces in paths passed to -I?

-I "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/14/include"

cc1.exe: fatal error: Files/PostgreSQL/14/include: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

In any case, you can work around it by either removing the postgresql installation, or configuring qt with -no-feature-sql-psql

Your full configure line would be

..\..\configure.bat -release -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-feature-sql-psql -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=D:/Repo/tmp/libclang -DCMAKE_IGNORE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Strawberry/c
