Hi all, It seems I've been fighting with static qt the whole night. I still haven't managed to compile it statically. The official script for static qt compilation on windows does not work, of course. And manual compiling with mingw32-make fails for no sensible reason... I sometimes feel like they

Karli, I just wanted to update you that zlib had been empty. d'oh! Apparently, using the GitHub GUI only cloned the benchmark directory and libarchive but not zlip. Running the submodule update command from the shell got me to where I needed to be! Namik, I am almost there. However, when I t

Hi guys, just a quick update: I think I'm close to having something usable that will work with both CMake and QMake... Please wait for the updates to arrive, don't fight with the current build system. Best regards, Karli On 08/02/2014 02:15 PM, Matthew Musto wrote: > Karli, > > I just wanted
