Qt 4.8.4 static link failure

[scamille]

I executed "./buildall x64 --qt-version=4.8.4 --static-qt" and eventually ran into a problem with QT violating the multiple definition rule:
multiple definition of `qt_sendSpontaneousEvent(QObject_, QEvent_)'
defined at c:\qtsdk\Qt-build\work\build-x64-s\qt-4.8.4\src\gui/kernel/qapplication.cpp:5559
and c:\qtsdk\Qt-build\work\build-x64-s\qt-4.8.4\src\activeqt\control/qaxserverbase.cpp:4041

Would it be possible to somehow create a patch to circumvent that problem? Or not build tools/activeqt/testcon ?

Thanks for issue. I don't test Qt4 static build yet because no time for it now. I try to resolve this but some later.

[scamille]

I'm interested in a static build including webkit, that's why I tried the old 4.8.4.

Since I'm really no Qt expert at all, I wasn't sure how to resolve the issue the best way. But if you point me to the best place, I can for example try to create a patch to remove one of the two definitions, and create a pull request for it on GitHub.

Edit:

1. I should have mentioned that I`ve used the develop branch of Qt-Builds.
2. qt-4.8.1-fix-activeqt-compilation.patch already handles the mentioned lines in src/activeqt/control/qaxserverbase.cpp , but instead removes some ifdef filters around it. Not sure why that is done, or what the influence on the shared build is.
3. I'm just going to manually patch the source file for now and try to continue building, maybe there are other problems arising.

[scamille]

Qt 4.8.4 seems to have been built properly with the manual patch.
Next error is at building Qbs, qbs-4.8.4-built.log:

I think QBS cannot be build with static Qt. It try to link with shared Qt libraries.

[scamille]

I don't really know what QBS is, but assuming it is linked to QtCreator, then I don't need it.

The Qt 4.8.4 static build doesn't have webkit as well. How would I go about trying to build it? Unfortunately I can't find a simple option to enable it in scenarios/qt-4.8.4.sh

[Alexpux]

QBS is build tool. Now it on beta stage. It does't need for building QtCreator.
Can you pastebin you qt build.log?

It is not full log because you restart building after some hand made changes. I think some goes wrong when configure Webkit. You need to do new build of Qt to have full log.

Pastebin.com doesn't like 10mb log files, so I tried Gist:
https://gist.github.com/philoptik/5618491

Error when building my application:
qt\simulationcraftqt.hpp:11:29: fatal error: QtWebKit/QtWebKit: No such file or
directory
#include <QtWebKit/QtWebKit>
^
compilation terminated.

[Alexpux]

Build log is truncated on gist. Compress it and email to [email protected]

[Alexpux]

Ok. On configure.log you can see message:

WARNING: Using static linking will disable the WebKit module.

Static Qt4 cannot be build with webkit.

[scamille]

So is this message directly coming from Qt configure, which disallows statically building WebKit, or is it a protection coming from Qt-Builds?

Well it was worth a try. Maybe Qt5.1 or some future version will finally allow statically building WebKit.

[Alexpux]

This message from Qt configure.
As I know Qt5 allow to build Webkit statically. Maybe I wrong...

[scamille]

I haven't succeeded in getting webkit statically built with Qt 5.0.2:
When executing 'qmake <myprojectfile.pro>' I get: "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets webkit"

Even though I can't find a similar restrictive message in the configure log.

Anyway, I'll try a 4.8.4 shared build to see if I can just remove the double-definition of `qt_sendSpontaneousEvent(QObject_, QEvent_)' there as well. If it works, I'll try to prepare a git pull request for you. Thanks for all the help.

[Alexpux]

Ok try it but I haven't see this issue when I do shared Qt4 build.
