You didn't set the OSArchitecture properly: https://github.com/pia-foss/desktop#configurations

[JonathonH-PIA]

@ErrorExorY Looks like a bug in hostArchitecture in util.rb. It's looking for OSArchitecture=64-bit, but your system seems to return OSArchitecture=64-Bit with a capital B.

Could you try tweaking the regex in hostArchitecture to be case-insensitive? if(archProbe.match?(/^OSArchitecture=64-bit$/i)) (add i flag)

Or, adding ARCHITECTURE=x86_64 to the rake command line should work around it like @kevinlekiller suggested.

[ErrorExorY]

Now I changed the build.rb wit capital B but got that error left:

anyone nows a clue?

[ErrorExorY]

I think I'm doing it wrong. I only open CMD as Admin and then go to the file location and type "rake"

[JonathonH-PIA]

@ErrorExorY Have you installed Qt? Looks like it was not able to find Qt, but the nil conversion got it before the error message was printed.

It basically looks for Qt at C:\Qt*\5.*\msvc_????_64. If your Qt installation is somewhere else, you can set QTROOT, like rake QTROOT=C:\somewhere\Qt\5.15.0

You don't need to run CMD as Administrator, but otherwise you should just be able to rake in the directory once all the dependencies are installed.

[ErrorExorY]

I have QT 5.9.x offline installer installed Is that a right version? It sais 5.15 and up

[ErrorExorY]

This is Now with QTROOT set

[JonathonH-PIA]

5.9.9 is too old, try installing 5.15.0. (You should be able to drop QTROOT, but I guess it would have to be set with slashes, not backslashes; that was primarily tested on Linux IIRC, I'll tweak that too)

[ErrorExorY]

I'm at the point to Compile the 5.15 Source but nedd an Commercial license. Can I get a compiled version anywhere? Or is my reading bad? ^^ Is the Online Installer a good Verison for that? What is the QT version of the Online installer? Edit: is 5.12 working for this? I will find out

[JonathonH-PIA]

You can get an online installer for the open source version of Qt, go here and scroll all the way to the bottom: https://www.qt.io/download-open-source

Unfortunately Qt no longer provides offline installers for open source, and they make you set up a Qt account now to use the online installer.

5.12 won't work out of the box since we're using the RHI renderer on Windows that isn't present in 5.12. It might be possible to tweak it to work but it'll be easier to install 5.15.

[ErrorExorY]

YES! I see in the online installer. Just like I said. Im a fast reader .. UFF sorry so much.

[JonathonH-PIA]

rake will figure out the specific Qt build (it'll use the msvc2019_64 build on 64-bit, that's the native MSVC build as opposed to the MinGW build).

You can likely omit QTROOT and let rake find it automatically now that 5.15.0 is installed, or if it doesn't find it, do rake QTROOT=C:/Qt/5.15.0

[ErrorExorY]

Thank you alot! Now its doing compiling at rake.

[JonathonH-PIA]

These build issues are fixed in 2.6.0 👍
