Compiler error C3861: 'qTerminate': identifier not found while building QT 6.1.0 for Windows

[Dmitriano]

I tried to build QT for Windows with the following steps:

CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
 
set "CMAKE_ROOT=E:\PFiles\cmake-3.19.1-win64-x64\bin"
set "NINJA_ROOT=E:\PFiles\ninja-win"
set "PERL_ROOT=E:\PFiles\Strawberry\perl\bin"
  
set PATH=%CMAKE_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%NINJA_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=%PERL_ROOT%;%PATH%
set PATH=E:\PFiles\Python35;%PATH%
    
rem Check if the tools are in PATH
where perl.exe
where python.exe
where cmake.exe
where ninja.exe
 
set "MY_INSTALL_PATH=E:\Qt\Qt6.0.2\windows"
set CL=/MP
 
configure.bat -prefix %MY_INSTALL_PATH% -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -release -force-debug-info -platform win32-msvc -opengl es2 ^
  -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples ^
  -skip qtgraphicaleffects
 
cmake --build . --parallel

but got the following compiler error:

src\testlib\qtestresult.cpp(77): error C3861: 'qTerminate': identifier not found

Probably removing MinGW from PATH was a step to a right direction, but it still does not compile.

see https://developernote.com/2021/05/building-qt-6-1-0-for-android-on-windows/#windows2 for details.

@Dmitriano said in Compiler error C3861: 'qTerminate': identifier not found while building QT 6.1.0 for Windows:

qTerminate

This is only defined when QT_NO_EXCEPTIONS is not defined which you don't want for whatever reason.
It's a bug in qtestresult.cpp:77 which uses this function unconditionally. File a bug report.

[Dmitriano]

@Christian-Ehrlicher yes, looks like it compiles better without -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1
