jom does not run msvc

k0shinus

I have a problem with building qt app via manual scripts on the build server. When i'm running build with jom1.1.5 and Qt6 i don't see a call of msvc compiler, it's instantly goes to link.
vcvarsall.bat finished normally, all required paths are correct in echo output. Now the execution sequence looks like

C:\Qt\jom_1_1_5\jom.exe -f Makefile.Release
link /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE...

while normally it should looks like

C:\Qt\jom_1_1_5\jom.exe -f Makefile.Release
cl -c -nologo -Zc:wchar_t ...
link /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE...

Where the problem could be?

I guess, i found the solution: several msvc sdk-s were missing. It fixed after i installed them and changed jom to qt-creator bundled. It's still a bit strange, but i think we can live with this. Thank you everyone!

Did you modify some source code before you called jom?

k0shinus

@Christian-Ehrlicher Source code of the jom? No i didn't, i used standard. I have the same problem with a built-in jom from the qt creator, so it doesn't look like problem is in jom itself.

Your source code which you want to compile with jom.

No, i didn't.

@k0shinus If the code was already compiled and not changed since then the compiler will not be invoked again as there is nothing to compile.

k0shinus

@jsulm I didn't changed source code of the project before build, but it wasn't built previousy because it was fresh after git clone. So it definitely should compile before link starts.

Christian Ehrlicher

So was an executable generated or not?

k0shinus

@Christian-Ehrlicher No, project's executable wasn't generated before jom starts. And it doesn't generates after calling jom, because jom simply does not call cl.exe for some reason.

If you do a dummy edit of one your source files, for example change
int main to int main and try running jom again, do you get an .exe file?

Christian Ehrlicher

Create a clean build directory, run cmake and then jom to see if it works then
