I am building QT 5.8.0 source using Mingw-w64. I follow steps described here under section
"Build Qt with MinGW for a x64 (x86_64) target".
Downloaded QT 5.8.0 source from http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.8/5.8.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0.zip and extracted to folder E:\QTMinGW64\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0
Downloaded MinGW-w64-install.exe from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/latest/download and installed it under E:\QTMinGW64\mingw-w64-v6.3.0\x86_64-6.3.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1
I also install perl, jom and fart under E:\QTMinGW64\mingw-w64-v6.3.0\tools
I created a build directory E:\QTMinGW64\qt-5.8.0-x64-build.
- Invoked cmd.exe
- Execute the following:
set PATH=E:\QTMinGW64\mingw-w64-v6.3.0\x86_64-6.3.0-posix-seh-rt_v5- rev1\mingw64\bin;E:\QTMinGW64\tools\perl\bin;E:\QTMinGW64\tools\jom;E:\QTMinGW64\tools\fart;C:\Windows\System32;
set LANG=en
cd E:\IMRI\QTMinGW64\qt-5.8.0-x64-build
- Run configure command under qt source
> E:\QTMinGW64\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0\configure -platform win32-g++ -opensource -debug -debug-and-release -confirm-license -static -opengl desktop -openssl -plugin-sql-odbc -plugin-sql-sqlite -nomake examples -nomake tests
The configure execution proceeds for a while and then stops with checking for gold linker and a windows pop-up appears showing error ld.gold.exe has stopped working.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
What I tried so far:
- Run cmd.exe as administrator
- Stopped anti-virus software
