Additional context
Upgrading my vcpkg install folder today, with the QT5 port updated to 5.15 #11596 , lead to failure.
Re-launching the installation gives the same failure.
Other issues regarding latest qt5 update are also emerging from ci #12229 #11130

Other issues regarding latest qt5 update are also emerging from ci #12229 #11130

Nothing to see here. qt5-imageformats is sometimes a bit flaky and just need to be rerun and the qt5-base regression is a download failure of winflexbison.

I also get the warnings:

but the build succeeds. I also see the *.json files in the buildtree being generated. hmm...

PS F:\vcpkg>

[talregev]

yes. I delete it.

[Neumann-A]

@cenit is this still an issue? If yes could you attach both logs (err and out) ?

[cenit]

yes still an issue, I can't use any qt5 project on windows via vcpkg from master anymore

Have you tried without the symlink?

I see
IC:\Users\ssinigar\Codice\vcpkg_openmvg\buildtrees\qt5-base\src\5.15.0-f256990b37.clean\include\QtCore
And
IC:\src\vcpkg_openmvg\buildtrees\qt5-base\src\5.15.0-f256990b37.clean/include\QtCore

The first path is also very long.

[cenit]

I launched the build from C:\src, which is a subst of C:\Users\ssinigar\Codice, I don't know how it also expanded it to the full path. Also, no problem with any other port which has the infamous maximum path length
This also was a supported way, and it's very difficult also to propagate any change to it

[Neumann-A]

How did you subst that? I always get a "invalid paramter error C:\src" if i try to subst C:\src <pathtosubst>

[Neumann-A]

after testing your mklink is the reason it fails. If you directly use the base path it works. If you truly use a subst it also works. If you use mklink as a junction /J instead of a normal symlink it also works. So the symbolic link is the issue.

[cenit]

Let me investigate my own setup then. Thanks for taking time to already test many configs

[Neumann-A]

@cenit: I assume you found a solution? (switching to nmake can also solve the problem but I only tested that manually outside the portfile which than run into other problems since the env was not correctly setup.)

[cenit]

Yes it was a symlink and not a junction. Strangely enough it fails mixing the two paths. I was able to complete the build from the original (even if longer) folder
