[Development] Failed to run configure.bat in qt/qt5 on MINGW64/MSYS2 shell?

[Cristian Adam]

Hi,

You are trying to compile Qt on a configuration that Qt is not officially supporting, namely MSYS2.

At Supported Platforms | Qt 6.6<https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html> you can see that on Windows Qt supports building with the Visual C++ compiler and a MinGW toolchain. The MinGW toolchain that Qt uses is mentioned at MinGW - Qt Wiki<https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW>.

If you want to build Qt with MSYS2 see Base Package: mingw-w64-qt6-base - MSYS2 Packages<https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-qt6-base> for more information. There you can see that the MSYS2 project has a few patches that need to be applied on top.

Cheers,
Cristian.

Hello, Qt Development Team.

This time, I tried with 6.6.0 version, qt-everywhere-src-6.6.0.tar.xz<https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/6.6/6.6.0/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.6.0.tar.xz>,
but it still failed to build 'docs' target.

  1.  mkdir build && cd build
  2.  mkdir mingw-release && cd mingw-release
  3.  ../../configure -release -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -- -DFEATURE_system_zlib=OFF -DFEATURE_zstd=OFF
  4.  cmake --build . --target docs --parallel 4 (failed)

Since it is the latest release version for now, I wonder
whether it is a bug? Or did I miss something?
