The following table describes the mapping of configure options to CMake arguments. Note that not everything is implemented in configure/configure.bat yet. The effort of this is tracked in QTBUG-85373 and QTBUG-85349. | configure | cmake | Notes | |---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| | -prefix /opt/qt6 | -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/qta6 | | | -extprefix /opt/qt6 | -DCMAKE_STAGING_PREFIX=/opt/qt6 | | | -hostprefix /where/ever | n/a | When cross-building Qt, we do not build for host system anymore | | -external-hostbindir /path/to/host/qt | -DQT_HOST_PATH=/path/to/host/qt | Can be set with configure -qt-host-path /path/to/host/qt. | | -bindir | -DINSTALL_BINDIR= | similar for -headerdir -libdir and so on | | -hostdatadir | -DINSTALL_MKSPECSDIR= | | | -host*dir | n/a | | | -help | n/a | Handled by configure[.bat]. | | -verbose | | | | -continue | | | | -redo | n/a | Handled by configure[.bat]. | | -recheck [test,...] | | | | -feature-foo | -DFEATURE_foo=ON | | | -no-feature-foo | -DFEATURE_foo=OFF | | | -list-features | | At the moment: configure with cmake once, | | | | then use ccmake or cmake-gui to inspect the features. | | -list-libraries | | | | -opensource | n/a | | | -commercial | n/a | | | -confirm-license | n/a | | | -release | -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release | | | -debug | -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug | | | -debug-and-release | -G "Ninja Multi-Config" | | | | -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Release;Debug | | | -optimize-debug | -DFEATURE_optimize_debug=ON | | | -optimize-size | -DFEATURE_optimize_size=ON | | | -optimized-tools | n/a | This affects only host tools. | | -force-debug-info | Use the RelWithDebInfo build config. | | | -separate-debug-info | -DFEATURE_separate_debug_info=ON | | | -gdb-index | -DFEATURE_enable_gdb_index=ON | | | -strip | cmake --install . --strip | This affects the install targets generated by qmake. | | -gc-binaries | -DFEATURE_gc_binaries=ON | | | -force-asserts | -DFEATURE_force_asserts=ON | | | -developer-build | -DFEATURE_developer_build=ON | | | -shared | -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON | | | -static | -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF | | | -framework | -DFEATURE_framework=ON | | | -platform | -DQT_QMAKE_TARGET_MKSPEC= | | | -xplatform | -DQT_QMAKE_TARGET_MKSPEC= | Used for generating qmake-compatibility files. | | | | If passed 'macx-ios-clang', will configure an iOS build. | | -device | equivalent to -xplatform devices/ | | | -device-option | -DQT_QMAKE_DEVICE_OPTIONS=key1=value1;key2=value2 | Only used for generation qmake-compatibility files. | | | | The device options are written into mkspecs/qdevice.pri. | | -appstore-compliant | -DFEATURE_appstore_compliant=ON | | | -qtnamespace | -DQT_NAMESPACE= | | | -qtlibinfix | -DQT_LIBINFIX= | | | -testcocoon | | | | -gcov | | | | -trace [backend] | -DINPUT_trace=yes or -DINPUT_trace= | | | | or -DFEATURE_ | | | -sanitize address -sanitize undefined | -DECM_ENABLE_SANITIZERS=address;undefined | | | -coverage | | | | -c++std c++20 | -DFEATURE_cxx20=ON | | | -sse2/-sse3/-ssse3/-sse4.1 | -DFEATURE_sse4=ON | | | -mips_dsp/-mips_dspr2 | -DFEATURE_mips_dsp=ON | | | -qreal | -DQT_COORD_TYPE= | | | -R | -DQT_EXTRA_RPATHS=path1;path2 | | | -rpath | negative CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH | | | | negative CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH | | | -reduce-exports | -DFEATURE_reduce_exports=ON | | | -reduce-relocations | -DFEATURE_reduce_relocations=ON | | | -plugin-manifests | | | | -static-runtime | -DFEATURE_static_runtime=ON | | | -pch | -DBUILD_WITH_PCH=ON | | | -ltcg | -DCMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION=ON or | | | | -DCMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION_=ON | | | -linker [bfd,gold,lld] | -DINPUT_linker= or | | | | -DFEATURE_use__linker=ON | | | -incredibuild-xge | n/a | This option enables remote distribution of Visual Studio | | | | custom build steps for moc, uic, and rcc. | | | | This lacks support in CMake. | | -ccache | -DQT_USE_CCACHE=ON | | | -make-tool | n/a | | | -mp | n/a | | | -warnings-are-errors | -DWARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=ON | | | -silent | n/a | | | -sysroot | -DCMAKE_SYSROOT= | Should be provided by a toolchain file that's | | | | passed via -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE= | | -no-gcc-sysroot | n/a | The corresponding CMake variables are CMAKE_SYSROOT_LINK | | | | and CMAKE_SYSROOT_COMPILE. | | | | They are usually set in a toolchain file. | | -no-pkg-config | -DFEATURE_pkg_config=OFF | | | -D | -DQT_EXTRA_DEFINES=;
