Fix Windows build

Trying to finish #102

[conda-forge-linter]

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

[ocefpaf]

My local build, and one of the Azure tries in #102, failed with:

jom: C:\Users\filipe\Miniconda3\envs\BUILD\conda-bld\qt_1556073246940\work\qtbase\src\angle\src\libGLESv2\Makefile [release] Error 2

When I build it locally it first complained about a missing qmake, I installed the current version of qt and tried again and the build goes until the error above. Does that make sense @gillins? How do you circumvent the lack of qmake in your machine?

[ocefpaf]

Pinging @mingwandroid and @isuruf here too, any insight you can give on building qt on Windows will be very helpful!

[gillins]

qmake got created as part of the build for me so i didn't have to do anything else. I didn't get that other error. You have VS 2015 installed on your machine?

That is what I expected would happen :-/

You have VS 2015 installed on your machine?

Probably not then. I'll remove what I have and re-install it. Thanks!

[ocefpaf]

@gillins and @msarahan I had that community VS version. What is the recommend one to build conda packages nowadays? I Google VS 2015 but ended up in a dead end in https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20studio%202015&wt.mc_id=o~msft~vscom~older-downloads

[tadeu]

@ocefpaf, awesome to know that Qt is being updated! :D

At the end of this page there is a "Still want Visual Studio Express" section, where "Express 2015 for Windows Desktop" can be found: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/express/

There is also a Chocolatey package, if that helps: https://chocolatey.org/packages/VisualStudio2015Community

[ocefpaf]

Thanks @tadeu! I try that soon and report back.

It goes to the same dead end 😄

Trying the community version again.

Does it take you to a login screen? I think you need a Microsoft ID to download anything these days...

If it is installed successfully you should have a bunch of files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC (I'd be a bit cautious about installing in anything other than the default location).

When you are running the installer make sure you select C++ as I have a feeling it isn't checked by default.

Could be.

I think I got it right with the community edition yesterday but the build did not end b/c Windows, against my configuration, decided to put the laptop to sleep.

I'm trying again this morning, I think it will work. (At some point yesterday I got the same error as you when copying the post file, I'm creating the folder now before copying. Fingers crossed.)

I got a successful build on Windows 🎉

Please let me know if you find any problem with it, the build is: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/qt/5.9.7/download/win-64/qt-5.9.7-hc6833c9_1.tar.bz2

This was the last step to sync with AnacondaRecipes and to complete the openssl migration. Thanks to all who contribute to PRs #88, #91, #97, #98, and #102 (@hmaarrfk, @tadeu, @gillins, @marcelotrevisani, @mariusvniekerk, @mingwandroid, and @isuruf)!

Nice!! Thanks a lot for your help @ocefpaf!

[tadeu]

Awesome! :D

I'm testing it locally, I've noticed that it is using a dependency from pkgs/main that is not yet in conda-forge:

vs2015_runtime           14.15.26706      h3a45250_0  pkgs/main

should this package be added to conda-forge?

[ocefpaf]

should this package be added to conda-forge?

In theory we don't need to. With strict channel enabled you should get that one from defaults and the rest of from conda-forge without a problem. We, conda-forge, decided to not package the compilers run time at the moment.

Did this ever build on a CI?

I'm getting strange errors on opencv trying to import cv2, which I assume is due to a qt issue?

conda-forge/opencv-feedstock#160

Only macOS.

The version that hopefully "fixes" Windows was uploaded a few minutes ago. Can you please try again in ~30 min (until the index updates).

[hmaarrfk]

Ah, got it, thanks! Will try.
