QT Creator QGC Custom Build Error - Release Mode (with fresh repo)

QGroundControl Development
1

Hello,

I am trying to build a custom version of QGC. When using QT Creator, I am able to build using the “/custom” directory when the Build is set to Debug.

However, when setting the Build to Release, QT Creator fails to build the custom QGC with the following errors: (using Ubuntu)

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}: Warning: end of file in string; '"' inserted
g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:236567: qrc_qgcresources.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
23:30:34: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.
Error while building/deploying project qgroundcontrol (kit: Desktop Qt 5.12.6 GCC 64bit)
When executing step "Make"
23:30:35: Elapsed time: 02:16.

This happens even when using a fresh clone of the repository (no changes made) and following the custom build steps in the readme. Is this supposed to happen?

Is there another way to build a Release version of the QGC custom app, perhaps by CLI or something else? I would like a more stable build (not the daily) to test on.

Finally, is there a difference between QT Creator Debug and Release builds besides the “Daily” added into the application name?

Thanks!

It usually tends to crash around moc …/qgroundcontrol/src/MissionManager/Section.h

Below is another common error.

moc /home/dev/test/qgroundcontrol/src/MissionManager/SimpleMissionItem.h
moc /home/dev/test/qgroundcontrol/src/MissionManager/Section.h
moc /home/dev/test/qgroundcontrol/src/MissionManager/SpeedSection.h

Hi

  1. What is the GCC version you are using?
  2. Do you installed ‘‘make’’ in the ubuntu?

4.3.1. I use the the Daily builds.

Yes, make is installed. It works for “Debug” build in QT Creator, but not for “Release” build.

I think you did not install all the QT completely, for example qt chart

Please install Qt 5.15.2 (or 5.15.7) and try again. Also refer to Redirecting to latest version of document (master) for Qt version requirements.
