[Interest] Can't build Qt 5.10 statically from source on Windows - fails to link with OpenSSL

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

Sorry to keep asking this but I can’t find the cause of this problem. I’m trying to build Qt 5.10 from git source. I’m using the following configure line:

configure -confirm-license -recheck -prefix c:\qt\5.10.0\msvc2015_5_10_0_static_32 -commercial -debug-and-release -static -static-runtime -opengl dynamic -openssl-linked -I c:\openssl-lib-1.0.2\include -L c:\openssl-lib-1.0.2\lib OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="libeay32MTd.lib ssleay32MTd.lib" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="libeay32MT.lib ssleay32MT.lib" -qtnamespace com_imaginando_qt_5_10_32

I have tried with openssl 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 but they are all generating the same errors...

cd qmltestrunner\ && ( if not exist Makefile C:\Qt\5.10.0\src\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe -o Makefile C:\Qt\5.10.0\src\qtdeclarative\tools\qmltestrunner\qmltestrunner.pro ) && C:\Qt\5.10.0\jom.exe -f Makefile

Any suggestions? 

Thx!
