Build Qt 6.11, "skip" ignored (not working)

maisoui

Hi,

I tried to build Qt 6.11 like I did for all previous versions of Qt 6, and it seems that "skip" argument is ignored. I tried "-skip qtwebengine -skip qtdoc" or "-skip qtwebengine,qtdoc", but "config,summary" file confirms that these modules are not ignored and will be part of the build ("WebEngine .............................. yes"). I noticed that config.opt.in file doesn't inlcudes the "skip" argument whereas it did in previous versions.

Is anyone else having the same issue?
Best regards,
Jonathan

Hi,

Can you show the exact steps you are taking to build Qt ?

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand your question. Here's my steps :

call vcvarsall.bat for Visual Studio 2026
set a couple of variables (like PATH)
call configure.bat with arguments
cmake --build . --parallel
cmake --install . --config Release

The exact configure call would be good so people can try and reproduce your issue in the same context.

@hollow knight I’ve run into something similar with Qt 6.11—seems like the -skip option isn’t behaving the same way as in earlier versions. It might be related to changes in the build system or how modules are handled now. Have you tried using the new configure flags or checking the official docs for any updates on this?I’ve run into something similar with Qt 6.11—seems like the -skip option isn’t behaving the same way as in earlier versions.
