CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:880 (MESSAGE):
  ========================

  Qt5 libraries not found.

  ========================

I'm using CMake 3.14.7, Python 3.6.8 and following this guide: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/CompileOnWindows

I searched for some solutions but still failed to compile. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Please edit your post and put the output in code tags </> for improved readablity.

Oh sorry, I edited the post

Hi everyone, I had this problem when trying to generate CMake configuration:

I cannot reproduce the problem. It is normal that the first configuration failed. As I wrote in the Wiki, you must subsequently set the path to FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR and also explicitly set the option BUILD_QT5 in the CMake GUI. Then run Configure again.

Edit: Note you need a different LibPack, depending if you want to compile FC 0.19 (Git master) of FC 0.18.

Thank for your reply,

Sorry for not providing enough information, I did change the value of FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR and BUILD_QT5 follow your Wiki before. Here are my settings:





My target is to build a stable version of FreeCAD (0.18) for Windows 64bit, and I'm using the LibPack FreeCADLibs_11.11_x64_VC12.7z, build on Visual Studio 2013.

I also tried on other computers but the result still the same.

Please attach the relevant info like the output in the logfiles.
Otherwise it is just guessing. Obviously Cmake cannot find Qt. The question is if you maybe installed Qt incompletely. Or you are using a too new Qt version because the LibPack for 0.18 was released in April 2018, a year before FC 0.18 was finished. So maybe the LibPack for FC 0.18 requires a Qt version that was actual in 2018.

However, instead if fiddling around, let's try to compile FreeCAD's master using MSVC 2017 or newer. The Wiki page and also the current LibPack are tested well for this. So when you succeed in compiling the current master, everyting is in shape on your PC. Then we can investigate why you cannot compile FC 0.18.

Btw. why do you need to compile FC 0.18?

[hsnam]

I attached the error log files, please take a look.

The question is if you maybe installed Qt incompletely

I don't see any mention about Qt installation in your Wiki, so I didn't install that library.
Is this the installer of Qt5: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows.html

Btw. why do you need to compile FC 0.18?

You said that 0.19 is the latest development version so I think 0.18 is the stable version, that why I want to build a 0.18 version.
Do I misunderstood your mean?

BTW, I will try to build 0.19 version follow your recommendations and see if it can works around.

Thank you so much for your quick response.

...
I don't see any mention about Qt installation in your Wiki, so I didn't install that library.

The LibPack should contain the most recent version of Qt. So you should be using the latest LibPack.

But you don't need to build the 0.18 version. It is already built, prepackaged, and ready to use. If you want to compile it yourself, then keep heeding the advice from uwe, but otherwise just get the installable package, or portable version from Download.

I know that there are built versions of FreeCAD, but I want to use a modified one so I have to build by my own.

BTW, thank for your help.

I built a 0.19 version (master branch on Git) follow your recommendations and it was done without any error.
I compiled a ready-to use FreeCAD with the target INSTALL.

But when I executed the FreeCAD.exe file in the bin folder, there're some errors happened:









Do I need to install something else to make it works?
