Failing to build Qt 6.7.3 from source on Slackware 15.0
-
Well, to begin with, Slackware isn’t an officially supported platform. That doesn’t mean Qt can’t be compiled or won’t work if installed in a binary version.
Please check the documentation thoroughly and make sure you have all necessary libraries and headers installed. IIRC Slackware doesn’t resolve dependencies automatically, so I can’t guarantee that even this works.
To start with: which SSL version are you using?

I am not very familiar with the build process with QT, but maybe some of you can help to solve the issue.

It is a bit odd, but the were no errors at all. Anyway, I've modfied my scripts to build Qt and QtWebEngine separately.

Seems to me that the linker failed.
Have you installed 6.7.3 from scratch into a clean build tree?
Or have you checked out 6.7.3 in the source tree and just re-ran ninja in the same build tree? -

The most time I built project like this into chroot environments. Your are possibly right, there is something wrong with the linker. Anyway, I uploaded a longer log to my repo.

Hi,
QtWebEngine doesn't compile because of some dependency mismatch.
Better try a supported platform, or try to compile without QtWebEngine. -

I don’t know, the log doesn’t say that. When you try to compile Qt on an unsupported platform, you’re on your own. Slackware is particularly problematic, because it doesn’t resolve dependencies automatically.
Since Qt fails compiling the Chromium 3rd party module, you could try whether there is a tutorial how to compile chromium on its own for Slackware and which packages are required for that. It would at least solve this problem. Can’t guarantee, that another problem will occur once QtWebengine works.

Well, I was able to build QT6 6.8.2 without QtWebEngine, and the most of my projects working very well, but there is a issue with qt5compat.
