[SOLVED] Building Qt for WinRT with DBus support

[ashishbansal]

Hi,
I want QDbus Support in my WinRT application.
So, I cloned the Qt sources and changed the git branch to 5.4.1
And then used this command[1] to build Qt for WinRT.
I got output that QtDbus Support............No

Can anyone please tell me, how to enable that?

[1] ..\qt5\configure.bat -xplatform winrt-x64-msvc2013 -developer-build -release -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests

AFAIK the QtDBus module is a Unix-only library.

@tomasz3dk
Isn't it possible to get it on Windows?

I found this: https://forum.qt.io/topic/38311/qtdbus-windows-qt-5-2-1-mingw-dbus-1-8-0/2, but i don't know if it will work on WinRT.

I want to know how he built the QDBus Module for windows. But it has not been mentioned there.

Thanks

It depends if you want to have it linked at build time or dynamically loaded like e.g. OpenSSL. IIRC the options are -dbus and -dbus-linked. Don't forget to provide DBus

@SGaist Okay, thanks :)
