Original question was slightly different but part of a more major question.
I am trying to build Qt 5.2 as static with static OpenSSL on Windows.
My final g
This is how I build Qt 5.7.1 with SSL support on Windows using MSVC 2013:
Make sure Perl, Python and Ruby can be found in the PATH environment variable.
Download Qt from the github repository:
cd C:\Qt
git clone https://github.com/qt/qt5.git
cd C:\Qt\qt5
git checkout 5.7
Make sure to checkout commit 36e7cff94fbb4af5d8de6739e66164c6e6873586. At this time, checking out 5.7 does exactly that.
Place the contents below in qt5vars.bat located at C:\Qt\qt5
. Make adjustments if you need to:
@echo off
REM Set up \Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, where is \c amd64, \c x86, etc.
CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
REM Edit this location to point to the source code of Qt
SET _ROOT=C:\Qt\qt5
SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtbase\bin;%_ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin;%PATH%
REM Uncomment the below line when using a git checkout of the source repository
SET PATH=%_ROOT%\qtrepotools\bin;%PATH%
REM Uncomment the below line when building with OpenSSL enabled. If so, make sure the directory points
REM to the correct location (binaries for OpenSSL).
SET PATH=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin;%PATH%
REM When compiling with ICU, uncomment the lines below and change appropriately:
REM SET INCLUDE=\include;%INCLUDE%
REM SET LIB=\lib;%LIB%
REM SET PATH=\lib;%PATH%
REM Contrary to earlier recommendations, do NOT set QMAKESPEC.
SET _ROOT=
REM Keeps the command line open when this script is run.
cmd /k
After that, execute this file and properly initiate the repository:
qt5vars.bat
perl init-repository
Finally, to configure and compile the library successfully (with debug and release versions), make sure the paths referenced by configure
are also valid on your system:
configure -static -static-runtime -debug-and-release -ssl -openssl -openssl-linked -opengl dynamic -platform win32-msvc2013 -prefix C:\Qt\qt5.7-msvc2013-static -nomake tests -nomake examples -I "C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include" -L "C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static" OPENSSL_LIBS="-lUser32 -lAdvapi32 -lGdi32 -lCrypt32" OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="-lssleay32MTd -llibeay32MTd" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="-lssleay32MT -llibeay32MT"
nmake
nmake install
Everything so far should have run smoothly and beautifully. Now it's a matter of configuring Qt Creator to detect this new Qt Version and create a new Kit use on your projects:
