qt_example.cpp may not be a sufficient test. For example, what happens if you actually try to use one of the dynamic drivers, e.g., examples/c/x01c -dev qtwidget That example is much nearer what happens for the simple dynamic driver test invoked by specifying -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=ON. If the above use of one of the qt dynamic devices works with -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=OFF, then can you confirm you still get a build-time error (and if so please identify the device driver that fails) from the simple test of each of the dynamic devices invoked with -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=ON? (I am asking you to repeat this test because you appear to be having difficulty with replicating your older results.) > > For the record you can't do it all in one go and have the examples built, > you have to do the following sequence: > cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= .. > mingw32-make > followed by > cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=OFF -DBUILD_TEST=ON > -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= .. > mingw32-make > which then builds all the c and c++ examples. Strange. I cannot replicate this issue on my Linux platform. Starting with an empty build tree, I do just the following: cmake [...] -DTEST_DYNDRIVERS=OFF -DBUILD_TEST=ON [...] >& cmake.out make -j4 >& make.out Both the captured *.out files show no errors. Furthermore, examples/c/x01c -dev qtwidget and other such tests of the various C examples work without issues. Please send your captured cmake and "make VERBOSE=1" output to me off list for the case where you try to do everything in one go starting with an empty build tree with the anomalous result that the examples are _not_ built.
