download.qt.io is down ?

NC NC

it's still down, I was thinking that it was my fault until I found this forum, @SGaist @kkoehne do you have any confirmation about when will it be back online ?

SGaist

Based on the latest information published on the mailing list, it's still unknown. The provider has suffered a catastrophic failure and has to recreate lots of machines. The Qt Company is not alone being affected.

I've installed qt creator with the offline installer but it asks me to select a version and it says "No suitable kits found." so I can't open or finish my school project that is due to tomorrow, what should I do to get it working? I've tried getting this program to work for 4 days now, I don't understand why we can't use visual studio instead.....

@StenGay You have to install Qt also. And a compiler (on Windows select Qt for MinGW).

Janus Li

@StenGay I'm also new to Qt but as far as I know Qt creator and Qt are different things. So what you have to install are Qt and a working compiler( e.g. MinGW).

BTW I think this is a perfect excuse to have your ddl extended lol. Just slap the blog on your teacher('s face).

For the moment you can install Qt from any mirror using aqtinstall (=> Another Qt Installer), which is actually meant for automatic installations from command line. It won't install QtCreator, though. Only libraries and binaries for building your project. Check out the aqtinstall github page for a manual: https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall

Download Python and check "Add to PATH"
pip install aqtinstall
Install Qt with aqt:

C: & cd C:\ & mkdir C:\Qt

python -m aqt install --base https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/ --outputdir c:\Qt 5.15.2 windows desktop win64_msvc2019_64

@StenGay I download and installed the Qt 5.12 offline without issues.
https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/
I'm not pretty sure but when you try to install Qt behind a proxy you must configure the settings in the installer, but if not there should be no issues.

Then when the installation continues, there is a screen asking you for what packages you want. In my case I select msvc and mingw tool kits and the mingw compiler.

If you want another version of mingw you could download from here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win32/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe/download

Anyone have an update? I looked at the link that SGaist provided above, but it hasn't been updated.

Seems the problem is even affecting the maintenance tool itself:

craigmac

Can anyone explain how to install 6.0.0 from sources on macOS (11 Big Sur)? Apparently 6.0.0+ will not have
off-line installers (for open-source license, at least), so my option is to build from 6.0.0 sources (or wait who knows
how long for the qt online install app to work again).

I've got the sources: the file called "qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.gz" by doing:

cd /tmp
wget https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/official_releases/qt/6.0/6.0.0/single/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.xz
tar xzvf qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0.tar.xz
cd qt-everwhere-src-6.0.0

The README still talks about 5.x installation, and the 'Linux, Mac:' section is saying to do:

./configure --prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
make -j 4

Error I get:

qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0 $ ./configure --prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
+ cd qtbase
+ /tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase/configure -top-level --prefix /tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:227 (message):
  Invalid command line parameter '/tmp/qt-everywhere-src-6.0.0/qtbase'.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:503 (qtConfAddError)

Appreciate any pointers!

@craigmac In our CI build toolchain we basically use aqtinstall (through a github action) to install Qt. We use macOS 10 and Qt 5.15.2 though. The resulting command line is:

python3 -m aqt install 5.15.2 mac desktop -O /Users/runner/work/ecal/Qt

Maybe try to combine that with a mirror and your desired Qt Version and you don't have to compile Qt on your own.

Untested command line (I don't own a mac):
python3 -m aqt install --base https://qt-mirror.dannhauer.de/ 6.0.0 mac desktop -O /Users/runner/work/ecal/Qt

You should be able to install aqt with pip3 install aqtinstall. Maybe this will help you.

can someone update us if the qt server is up?

EsmeraldaQuintero

@Mohamab29
Issue is still present at this time.

Paper

@craigmac You can just reference what Homebrew does. Although homebrew is now trying to upgrade to Qt6. By the way, issue still present at this time.

RunLee

anybody knows when the server is up?

Quoting Tuukka:

Hi,
 
Status update of the problem with open-source downloads: Last night we finally got a disk big enough for the packages from the service provider. Most of the data has been transferred throughout the night with a few last things still being uploaded to the new virtual server. After the data transfer is complete we start testing and validation of the data and the system. Target is to enable first the online installer, then the offline packages and finally the achieve of old releases.
 
Yours,
 
                Tuukka

StenGay

@jsulm Yea thanks, I did that and finally got it working.

StenGay

@Janus-Li Yea I finally got it working, thanks! Confused the hell out of me when people kept telling me to "Install qt" lol

kkoehne

Parts of download.qt.io is live again (and online installer should work).

kkoehne

@craigmac said in download.qt.io is down ?:

--prefix

Use -prefix (no double --) .
For more advise, see also https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git and https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/macos-building.html

@kkoehne I can confirm that it does work -- I just downloaded Design Studio 2.

Thanks to all who worked hard to get us back in the water...
