Summary0014855: Unpacking Qt 5.2.1 source distribution fails (ExternalProject_Add)
DescriptionThe Qt project offers their source code as a ZIP file for Windows systems[1]. CMake fails to extract the file with the error message “archive_read_next_header(): Invalid central directory signature”[2] when using it as an external project via ExternalProject_Add. Upstream libarchive fixed an issue in this direction, which may be related: <http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=257>. [^]

As a workaround, until this is addressed/fixed, you can simply switch to using the *.tar.gz file -- that works, even on Windows. I just built Qt 5.2.1 that way last week actually.

However, I had to patch the source tree to add missing ".gitignore" files (at the root and in qtbase) in order to get "configure.bat" to work properly...

CMake supports building against an external libarchive. Can you please try building upstream libarchive and CMake from source with CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_LIBARCHIVE on?

Thank you for the quick responses! I first reproduced the issue on my main Linux machine running Debian Jessie/testing. Then I proceeded to build libarchive from upstream's Git master branch (revision 00f4bd8) and linked a custom CMake build against it. I can confirm that the archive can now be unpacked.

Re 0014855:0035590: Great, thanks for trying that so quickly. I will look at updating CMake's builtin libarchive.

I've updated libarchive in our Git master branch:
