Building wxQT port with Win32 MSys2 Qt5 backend
The MSys2 website is http://www.msys2.org/
These building steps are NOT the normal way to build MSys2 MinGW packages. But, they are a way the wxWidgets developers can test that wxWidgets can build the wxQT/Win32 libraries under MSys2 MinGW.
For the MSys2 way please see https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages and https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Creating-packages
Building steps:
A. Install the MSys2 mingw packages needed to build wxQT/Win32 using the configure/make build method. From the MSys2 MinGW prompt:
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm make
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libjpeg-turbo
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libpng
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-libtiff
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gcc
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-pkg-config
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-qt5
Packages that are needed but are normally installed already.
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gcc-libs
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-expat
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-xz
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-zlib
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-gdk-pixbuf2
B. Build the wxQT/Win32 static library 1. Open MSys2 MinGW Prompt (These steps were tested on MinGW64; but, should work under MinGW32) 2. Use the cd command to change directory to the wxWidgets top folder.
3. Create the "build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static" folder to build the static libraries
mkdir -p build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static
4. Configure wxWidgets
Option "--disable-precomp-headers" is NOT needed.
It is being used to test for compile issues.
Remove configure option "--disable-wxdib" to set wxUSE_WXDIB to 1.
At the time these directions where written wxUSE_WXDIB set to 1
resulted in build error in dnd sample and run-time errors in
other samples.
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static && \
../configure --with-qt \
--disable-wxdib \
--disable-shared \
--disable-precomp-headers \
&& cd ..
5. clean the wxQT static libraries
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static && make clean && cd ..
6. make the wxQT static libraries
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static && make && cd ..
C. Build and run the minimal static sample 1. Clean the minimal sample
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/minimal && make clean && cd ../../..
2. Build the minimal sample
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/minimal && make && cd ../../..
3. Run the minimal sample
./build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/minimal/minimal.exe
D. Build most of the static samples 1. Clean most of the static samples
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples && make clean && cd ../..
2. Build most of the static samples
cd build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples && make && cd ../..
E. Run the drawing static sample
cd samples/drawing && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/drawing/drawing.exe && cd ../..
F. Run the splash static sample
cd samples/splash && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/splash/splash.exe && cd ../..
G. Run the widgets static sample
cd samples/widgets && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/widgets/widgets.exe && cd ../..
H. Run the toolbar static sample
cd samples/toolbar && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/toolbar/toolbar.exe && cd ../..
I. Run the image static sample
cd samples/image && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/image/image.exe && cd ../..
J. Run the dnd static sample
cd samples/dnd && ../../build-${MSYSTEM_CARCH}-qt-static/samples/dnd/dnd.exe && cd ../..
