Link error when building Qt 5.5.1 with vs2015

Dmitry.Sokolov

I am building Qt 5.5.1 on Windows 10 with VC 14.0 x86 compiler (VS 2015 Community Ed.).

Initialization:

perl init-repository --no-webkit

Configuration:

call "%_qt_src_dir%\configure.bat"^ 
  -opensource^
  -confirm-license^
  -prefix "%_install_dir%"^
  -platform win32-msvc2015
  -make-tool jom^
  -mp^
  -no-warnings-are-errors^
  -opengl desktop^
  -nomake examples^
  -nomake tests^
  -no-incredibuild-xge

I have got the following link error:

There is no such error for Qt5Script.dll, i.e. something wrong with Debug config.

Hi,

Do you have python installed properly in available in the PATH environment variable ?

Dmitry.Sokolov

Sure. Python, Perl, and Jom are installed and paths added into the PATH env. variable. The %VS140COMNTOOLS%..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86 is called before the configure and the build steps.

And the following modules are built (before error):

qt3d
qtactiveqt
qtbase
qtconnectivity
qtdeclarative
qtimageformats
qtlocation
qtmultimedia
qtsensors
qtserialport
qtsvg
qttools
qtwebchannel
qtwebsockets
qtwinextras
qtxmlpatterns

Building with MSVC 2012 is OK.

Building with MSVC 2015 is failed. The cause is

void* operator new(size_t, void*);
void operator delete(void*, size_t);

declared, but not defined in the qtscript\src\3rdparty\javascriptcore\JavaScriptCore\runtime\ArgList.h.

My question on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33421592/linker-error-while-building-with-msvc-2015-other-cc-is-ok

SGaist

Following your answer on SO, did you submit a patch for Qt ?

Dmitry.Sokolov

Nobody approves that the issue is present. So, I have created QTBUG-49163.
