How to build qtquickcontols2, qtsvg, qtwebsockets?

[Dmitriano]

I built QT 6.1.0 on 3rd attempt with the following steps (without -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1):

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% -release -force-debug-info -platform win32-msvc -opengl es2 ^
  -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples ^
  -skip qtgraphicaleffects
 
cmake --build . --parallel

but only these modules were built:

Qt6Concurrent.dll
Qt6Core.dll
Qt6DBus.dll
Qt6Gui.dll
Qt6Network.dll
Qt6OpenGL.dll
Qt6OpenGLWidgets.dll
Qt6PrintSupport.dll
Qt6Sql.dll
Qt6Test.dll
Qt6Widgets.dll
Qt6Xml.dll

what about qtquickcontols2, qtsvg, qtwebsockets? Is it possible to build them?

At least I have their sources, how to include them into the build?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

You only downloaded and built QtBase and not the other modules.

@Christian-Ehrlicher my QT source directory contains these folders:

cmake

coin
config.tests
qt3d
qt5compat
qtactiveqt
qtandroidextras
qtbase
qtcanvas3d
qtcharts

README.md

and qtquickcontrols2\src\quicktemplates2 folder contains various *.cpp files like qquicklabel.cpp, qquickmenu.cpp, .. etc...

and I have an impression that qtmultimedia, qtwebsockets also have some sources.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

First: re-checkout the sources and do not do an in-source build. Follow the instructions and do an out-of-source build. Then Call configure and see what it prints out - it will tell you what gets build.

[Dmitriano]

@Christian-Ehrlicher looks like I run a wrong configure.bat from qtbase. If I do a clean experiment with configure.bat from the root directory and then run

cmake --build . --parallel

I get

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': The system cannot find the file specified.

looks like I can't build it :)

@Dmitriano said in How to build qtquickcontols2, qtsvg, qtwebsockets?:

looks like I can't build it :)

This is because your source dir is messed up with old build artifacts. Kill the source dir, download again and then do an out-of-source build.

[Dmitriano]

@Christian-Ehrlicher There was an error related to qtwebsockets:

CMake Error at qtbase/lib/cmake/Qt6Qml/Qt6QmlMacros.cmake:176 (add_library):
  No SOURCES given to target: qmlwebsockets
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  qtbase/lib/cmake/Qt6Qml/Qt6QmlMacros.cmake:484 (qt6_add_qml_module)
  qtwebsockets/src/imports/qmlwebsockets/CMakeLists.txt:7 (qt_add_qml_module)


CMake Generate step failed.  Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtProcessConfigureArgs.cmake:823 (message):
  CMake exited with code 1.

it started to build when I added -skip qtwebsockets to configure.bat paremeters.

(QT source directory is clean)
