Client: MINGW32-MAKE Error

[timetofaceit]

Hello,

I'm trying to build owncloud client following these instruction -
https://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.5/building.html. Everything goes well until 7 step. When I hit mingw32-make command I receive this error (picture):

What am doing wrong?

@ckamm you've been using mingw until very recently - have you seen this?

@timetofaceit I recommend to use KDE Craft to build the owncloud-client. Also the official binaries are built with MSVC by now, maybe worth using that if you don't insist on a free software compiler. (MSVC at least does not cost anything for personal use)

@dschmidt @timetofaceit I've seen it when I tested with mingw 7.3 and have a fix in the vfs-syncprovider branch. Cherry pick de0b9a1e30ad6ddb5543f14e8f913f768d3c6424 . I also recommend building with msvc on windows though.

@dschmidt @ckamm thanks for the quick answer. I have applied your fix and it works great, but when I want to start the owncloud.exe file in bin directory it asks for Qt5Core.dll Q5Network.dll and so on. How can this be fixed?

Also I would like to know how to build it using MSVC on windows as you said before?

@timetofaceit check this blog post:

There was also some discussion in the forum:

We'll update the docs with this method…

@michaelstingl trying to follow kde craft instructions but getting this error:

I installed python 2.7 manually to C disk, but still no go. Error comes when I use "craft owncloud-client" command.

Also when I use "craft --set version master owncloud-client" I get error "Invalid option version":

Any thoughts?

[timetofaceit]

Have sorted this out by not using the "craft --set version master owncloud-client" command.

[timetofaceit]

Well I builded with kde craft, but can someone tell me what to do next? How to make installation file or launch the owncloud client?

I don't know if am in the right spot after build but that's what kind of error I get now:

Any ideas?
