Build on Windows?

[mkramar]

It may be just my ignorance, but even after installing the whole QT (which takes longer than Visual Studio!) I still cannot build it on my Windows machine. Anyone who publishes Windows build instructions and/or makes it more user friendly will have my blessing!

Hey there,

I ran into the same situation like you and was confronted with missing information how to build svn2git on windows. However I found a solution on stackoverflow.

Basically you should install cygwin. The last step of the setup is the place where you can add the packages/dependencies you want to have installed.

I installed the following cygwin-packages:

• gcc-g++ (v7.4.0-1)
• libQt5Core-devel (v5.9.4-2)
• libapr1 (v1.6.5-1)
• libapr1-devel (v1.6.5-1)
• make (v4.2.1-2)
• subversion (v1.11.1-1)
• subversion-devel (v1.11.1-1)

With this setup I cloned the svn2git repo in cygwin and could simply run qmake-qt5 && make to build the project.

With this setup I cloned the svn2git repo in cygwin and could simply run qmake-qt5 && make to build the project.

I have had installed Visual Studio 2015, but not the cygwin. I downloaded the latest cygwin setup executable and installed the packages above.

And have hitted another issue:
Project ERROR: msvc-version.conf loaded but QMAKE_MSC_VER isn't set

I don't know why, but one of these commands have just fixed it:
qmake-qt5 "QMAKE_MSC_VER = 1900"
qmake-qt5 -r "QMAKE_MSC_VER = 1900"

After that i couldn't repro the issue. So this case might be helpful for any other with the same issue.

Building on windows no longer works in cygwin:

$ qmake-qt5 && make
Info: creating stash file /cygdrive/e/svn2git/.qmake.stash
cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/bin/qmake-qt5 -o Makefile /cygdrive/e/svn2git/src/src.pro ) && make -f Makefile
/cygdrive/e/svn2git/src/src.pro:34: 'versionAtLeast' is not a recognized test function.
Project ERROR: Qt 5.9.4 found but Qt >=5.14.0 required, cannot continue.
make: *** [Makefile:45: sub-src-make_first] Error 3

There is no cygwin package for qt newer than 5.9.4...
