    Issue is solved after downloading the release from
    http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/alpha/

    instead of GIT

    [quote author="subbul" date="1333560508"] i am facing compilation error in building qt5 (not webkit yet)
    I am using Ubuntu, with all xcb and other dependency installed using apt-get

    configure was successful, whereas build failed in "wayland" (error log below).
    Any clue on the wayland header files mismatch or version problems?

        Hi, trying to build qtbase on WinXP using MSVC2008, followed the instructions exactly and it builds OK, but when when I try to run I get:

        "Failed to load platform plugin "". Available platforms are: windows:

        Any hints?

          I am trying to build the qt5-alpha source from the zip download as I don't have git on my windows machine. Is there any way to do a "make clean"/"make confclean" without git?

            I just happened to notice your posts - I didn't get an email notification.

            According to configure, "To reconfigure, run 'make confclean' and 'configure'.".
            Well you probably know that at least with Qt5 alpha, that doesn't work.

            I'm on Debian so I can't offer any Windows wisdom, but for "make clean" I just delete the directory and re-unpack the alpha .tar.bz2 again.

            I'm in the dark as to how to build/use the QtDeclarative component.
            It appears that the header I'm looking for - "QtDeclarative/QDeclarativeComponent" isn't installed although it's in the source tree - yes I built/installed qtjsbackend and qtdeclarative.

            Also, it would be nice if Qt5 beta had a top-level makefile that included targets for
            linux-x86-32-gcc-x11
            linux-x86-64-gcc-x11
            windows7-64-msvc2010

            and so on, so we could be sure we're building against a known and tested build configuration.

            And yes, it should fail if any prerequisites are missing (and maybe print warnings if they are different versions).

              Hi All,

              I'm trying to building Qt5 om Mac OSX 10.7. Following the instructions given here:

              http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

              However, I'm running into an issue in the build-step which I'm not
              sure how to solve. One of the errors I'm getting is the following:

              gcc: error: tools/qlocale_mac.mm: Objective-C++ compiler not installed
              on this system

              I will give a detailed step-by-step descriptions of my process below,
              assuming the starting point to be a blank shell with PWD=$HOME:

              (1) git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5 [check!]

              (2) cd qt5 [check!] :)

              (3) perl init-repository --no-webkit [check! Does its job without complaining. I can provide the log if necessary]

              (4) unset QTDIR [check!] :)

              (5) export PATH="$PWD/qtbase/bin:$PWD/qtrepotools/bin:$PATH" [check!] :)

              (6) ./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake
              tests [check! See below]

              Get a few warnings about some Qt header not containing macros, e.g.:

              QtCore: WARNING:
              /Users/thinks/qt5/qtbase/src/corelib/qtcoreversion.h does
              not include QT_BEGIN_HEADER

              but they don't seem severe. Other relevant output:

              Build type: macx-clang
              Architecture: x86_64
              Host architecture: x86_64
              Platform notes:

              • Also available for Mac OS X: macx-g++

              (7) ./build -j 4

              This is where the trouble begins. The following (first) error is given:

              [Lots of output without errors...]
              qabstractanimation.h -o .moc/debug-shared/moc_qabstractanimation.cpp
              gcc: error: tools/qlocale_mac.mm: Objective-C++ compiler not installed
              on this system
              gcc: error: kernel/qcore_mac_objc.mm: Objective-C++ compiler not
              installed on this system

              Similar errors are reported further on as well, all with the same
              reason given. It seems somewhat strange that gcc is used over g++, but
              at the moment I'm not really sure why this happens.

              Some info about gcc:

              [thinks@wiggs ~] gcc --version
              gcc (GCC) 4.8.0 20120408 (experimental)

              Any advice greatly appreciated!

              Thanks,

              T

                @thinks, did you try to "build the 5.0 alpha":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-Alpha-building-instructions instead? Might be easier than building from git.

                  Thanks, Ludde! :)

                  We finally got it working here. The following was required:

                  • Grab latest from Qt5 git repo.
                    git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5

                  • Use Qt's provided tool to initialize the repo.
                    cd qt5
                    perl init-repository --no-webkit

                  • Set up our build environment.
                    unset QTDIR
                    export PATH="$PWD/qtbase/bin:$PWD/qtrepotools/bin:$PATH"
                    export PATH=/Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH
                    export CPP=clang++
                    export CC=clang
                    echo PATH $PATH

                  • Pre-build configuration. Note that we are forcing it to build using
                    the Xcode compilers.
                    ./configure -no-pch -developer-build -confirm-license -opensource
                    -release -nomake demos -nomake examples -arch x86 -sdk
                    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk

                  • Build. We could increase the number of course to improve speed once
                    we are convinced that this works well...
                    ./build -j 1

                  Not sure all of that stuff is required though, but because the build time is quite steep (even with j > 1) we didn't have time to narrow it down.

                  Cheers,

                  T

                    hi .

                    I am currently doing the Qt5 manipulation and I have one little question ^^ .

                    Is it possible to realize a configuration (./configure) in static Qt5 mode (-static) by incorporing the QtSerialPort class, which we must add to our pre-existing library thanks to that manipulation: http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtSerialPort ?

                    If this is not possible to change QtSerialPort in static library, but just the QT5 library . When I will compile my project which uses QtSerialPort, will it run like a static program or I need to include a .so (or dll) ?

                    Sorry for my bad english .

                        Seems related to bluetooth, but since I don't know bluez very well, I don't know where to look at.

                          Have you updated QTDIR and PATH before starting the build? It seems that your search paths are polluted, or bluetooth.h - maybe - bluetooth.h is not ready for C++11, or something entirely different is happening :P.

                            This issue happened to me quite recently actually. (< 2 weeks) my bluetooth.h did not had any problems before ...

                                but if I cd qtbase/qmake/;mingw32-make all it work.

                                The best way to do file copy is in Qt:

                                  On MAC I encountered a problem: Under the last version of XCode you have to download the "command lines tools" seperatly from the xcode settings in the downloads pane.

                                    I was getting "The Remote End Hung up Unexpectedly" when running "perl init-repository". I found that if I used the "-http" option at the end of that line, the failures stopped. It seems that the "git" protocol is a bit flaky. Making http the default in the "init-repository" script would make the process a bit more robust.

                                      You can also rerun the script with "-f". Doesn't fix git protocol, but often it works on second try.

                                        Yeah, unfortunately for me, re-runnng w/git kept failing at different points.

                                          Hi,
                                          I'm new to command line compiling and Git.

                                          Thanks to the excellent "guide":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git I was able to build Qt from source. Now, with the latest beta 2 release, I'd like to update Qt.

                                          My question is simple:

                                          Do I need to run configure after:

                                          git pull
                                          git submodule update --recursive

                                          Or can I just run make again without doing that?

                                          A suggestion would be to update the "Getting Updates" section to include this answer as maybe others would wonder if they need to do that too.

                                          Thanks,
                                          Brett
