I have been trying to compile QGIS for a long time now.

What I did is:

  1. Download Visual Studio 2010, Windows 7 SDK, cygwin, osgeow4 (I followed the instruction lines 380 - 447)
  2. Additionally I have downloaded these packages using OSGeo4W:
    • qca-libs
    • qca-devel
    • python-devel
    • oci-devel
    • osgearth-dev
  3. I have downloaded QGIS source branch release-2_14.

  4. Using ms-windows/osgeo4w/package.cmd like this in command line

    cd C:\QtProjekty\QGIS-release-2_14\ms-windows\osgeo4w
package.cmd 2.14.0 38 qgis-dev x86_64 >> log.txt

    I have managed to build source (I can see qgis.exe now in ms-windows/osgeo4w/build-x86_64/output/bin/Release)

Now I have found following lines in the log:

My questions now are:

  • What are the logs above?
  • Are those tests needed to pass in order to have successfull build or is my qgis.exe working properly already?
  • Why are there no information in the instruction about additional packages needed to build the source?
  • Are there any other packages required to have successful build?

After downloading packages:

  • grass6
  • qgis-devel

I have following output:

  The following tests FAILED:
     34 - qgis_coordinatereferencesystemtest (Failed)
     59 - qgis_legendrenderertest (Failed)
     81 - qgis_rasterlayertest (Failed)

Bounty started

I am not happy to say it but I am not able to get sufficient info about how to compile QGIS. It already took me too much time trying to compile it. Still I do not know what am I doing right or wrong.

Many tests haven't been fixed to work correctly under windows yet. You can safely ignore these failing tests as they aren't indicative of a problem with your build, and they fail even with the official windows builds (See eg http://dash.orfeo-toolbox.org/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=222811 ).

The qgis_alignrastertest test fails because it needs to be updated to handle differences in GDAL >= 2.0. This test covers the "align rasters" tool available under the raster menu. It's failing because GDAL 2.0 changed how various resampling algorithms are calculated.

The following tests have been fixed in master and should pass if you update your QGIS to the latest git version:

  • qgis_coordinatereferencesystemtest
  • qgis_rasterlayertest
  • PyQgsVirtualLayerDefinition
  • qgis_legendrenderertest

The PyQgsVirtualLayerProvider test currently fails on ALL Windows builds. It's due to invalid handling of accented characters under Windows when using virtual query layers. Even the official builds of QGIS suffer this issue - it just hasn't been resolved yet on Windows.

The PyQgsServer test should pass. You may be missing a dependency. Try running the test in verbose mode, ie ctest -v -r PyQgsServer and see if there's any clues there.

Lastly, PyQgsPalLabelingComposer requires some command line PDF tools available in your path. You need to install poppler and add it's directory to your path. Again, some pointers are given when running the test in verbose mode.

  • Thank you. Can you link a source of these information? Also I still need answer to "what are these tests?" and "what does it mean they fail? Will the program work properly? What will not work if 8 tests fail, what if 22 does (like in logs I provided)?"

  • Thank you for the update. I still need to know what happens if a test fails. Does this mean that certain part of the program will not work?

  • It's a mix. For most of these it's just the test itself which is broken (eg PyQgsServer, qgis_alignrastertest and PyQgsPalLabelingComposer) which mean that QGIS will work, it's just the test which doesn't. But PyQgsVirtualLayerProvider is revealing a bug in QGIS itself on Windows - however, even the official builds have this bug, it's not an issue specific to your build.

  • Oh, you also asked about my source - see github.com/qgis/QGIS/graphs/contributors. I've written a lot of the QGIS testing code and know it backwards.
