Compile qt5.15.2 failed without .git

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What steps are you doing exactly ?
There's a "patching file qglobal.h" that looks out of place.

ShylockHg

@SGaist Yes, I just add a #include <limits> , to avoid compile error.

My mistake, it's still unresolved

SGaist

Do you have the same result with just the stock zip file ? Without any modification.

@SGaist

I tried qtbase, it's failed too.

Use out of source builds.
Also, are you working from a fresh source folder ?

@SGaist
Failed too.

@SGaist Yes, I just download and unzip qtbase, I want to try qt, but it's empty in github release.

SGaist

Don't use GitHub to download the Qt sources zip file. Use the official one provided by the Qt Company.

ShylockHg

@SGaist
Fine, it's ok when I download form https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.2/single/

SGaist

The reason is that GitHub just zips the content of the repository.
The official archives are ready to configure/build for the platform selected (.zip for Windows and tar.gz for unix like).
