4.6.3 configure with or without Webkit gives Webkit like error

[jetimms]

I first ran configure with the "-webkit" flag, but got install errors (similar to the below, maybe the exact same.)

After doing a successful "nmake confclean", I fixed my .cache file to now contain "-no-webkit" instead of "-webkit".

I successfully ran "configure -loadconfig myConfigureFile.cache" and after doing nmake I get warnings like the following ...

C:\Qt\2010.04\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\WebCore\accessibility\AXObjectCache.h(139)
: warning C4100: 'postToElement' : unreferenced formal parameter

C:\Qt\2010.04\qt\src\3rdparty\webkit\WebCore\accessibility\AXObjectCache.h(139)

(BTW: the above is the last compile/link portion before erroring out.)

I see that some kind of Webkit thing is being built. I've heard that Qt Webkit port is hard to build so some people don't load it. I did not when I had the 4.5.2 install last year.

Why is it trying to build WebKit when I tell it not to?

Could it be that there's something that I have configured to install that requires Webkit?

I could just not mention it in the configure.cache file and see if that works.

I am building this for msvc-2008 on a XP x64 Pro box, if that makes a difference.


Thanks!!!

[wysota]

Did you run "make distclean" prior to rebuilding Qt?

[jetimms]

I haven't tried "nmake distclean".

I will give that a shot later tonight and post the results.

I am assuming that it needs to be ran after "nmake confclean" but prior to "configure ..."

Is that correct?

Thanks!

[wysota]

It's irrelevant whether you run it after or before it. It will clean all generated files and leave you with a pristine source tree (with exception to config.status and such).

[jetimms]

I humbly offer a belated thanks for your assistance.

I was never able to get 2010.04 to nmake successfully, although there were a few rabbit holes to delve to get me there. I did try "nmake distclean" several times to no avail.

I did however get the 4.6.3 libraries to configure and nmake. (The make took about 6 hours.)

I discovered that the libraries come with a lot of tools, qmake being the one I wanted most. I was led to believe from the Qt site that qmake is one of the tools that comes with the SDK only from http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools, a link describing QtCreators cross-compile features. I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case.

Anyhow, I was able to build with Qt's Webkit in this case. The following is my configuration setup in case anyone wishes to see it (I am running on a XP Pro x64 box targeting windows and using the win32-msvc2008 compiler):

Note that many of these settings are defaults. I like a descriptive configuration file that tells what the setup is (although I keep a copy of the "configuration -help" of each version too).

Thanks again. Next stop, installing and making 4.7 libs this weekend.
