Building PhantomJS-2 from source on Windows
I am trying to build a development version of PhantomJS 2 from source on Windows 8.1 x64 based on these instructions .
However I am getting the following errors
'mingw32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Error: "qmake.exe is missing Can't proceed."
I'm not sure how to fix this, can anyone please help and / or give instructions on how to create it on Windows x64?
What I have done so far ....
- Perl, Python, Ruby and Git installed ensure they are all in the PATH environment variable
- Installed qt-opensource-windows exe
-
The following commands have been introduced in Visual Studio Command Prompt:
- git clone git: //github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
- cd phantomjs
- cd src / qt
- git clone https://github.com/Vitallium/phantomjs-3rdparty-win
- rename phantomjs-3rdparty-win 3rdparty
- cd ../../
- build.cmd
And the last step trying to build gives errors.
I also installed mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe and added the path C: \ mingw \ bin \ mingw32-make.exe to my PATH environment variable which still gives an error.
The complete command line I / O looks like this:

Make sure the path to qmake and nmake is correct in you% PATH% For me it was:
Path to qmake - C:\Qt\Qt5.3.2\5.3\msvc2013_64\bin
Path to nmake - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin
Possibly the same for 'mingw32-make'
I double checked Phantomjs source code and it seems that you don't need to download and install qt, this is already part of the source code. To create PhantomJS 2 you need:
- Set the path to the following files nmake.exe, rc.exe and to mt.exe - C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v7.1A \ Bin; C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ VC \ bin
- ENV variables:
- INCLUDE: VC and Windows SDK include folder - C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ VC \ include; C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v7.1A \ include
- LIB: VC folder and Windows SDK Lib - C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ VC \ lib; C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v7.1A \ lib
Also, before starting the build, you need to run vcvarsall.bat with the correct configuration. In my case I used the amd64_x86 parameter To start the build I did the following steps: - git clone git: //github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git - cd phantomjs - build

For those using Cygwin, make sure your windows perl installation is in the PATH before the Cygwin binaries.
I had a problem where all the steps ran fine, but since I was using Cygwin perl, the file paths were in the format / cygdrive / c / .. which is not understood and therefore fails, without useful output in build.cmd.
This was found by running preconfig.cmd inside phantomjs / src / qt
