    Run perl from cmd.exe, not Bash terminal.

    I did run the command "perl init-repository" from cmd.exe directly.

    Hello,

    I am having some problems compiling Qt 5.1 in MAC OSX. I've followed all the steps from here: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git ...

    But... when I called "make -j 4", after about one hour of compilling work, I've got this error:

    @make[3]: *** No rule to make target /Users/paulopina/PlexusDynamics/qt5/qtbase/lib/libQt5QmlDevTools.a', needed by /Users/paulopina/PlexusDynamics/qt5/qtbase/bin/qmlmin'. Stop.

    This it the return i've got at "./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests":

    Just head into "qtdeclarative\src\qmldevtools"

    Hi,

    Same error as PauloPina, then heading to "qtdeclarative\src\qmldevtools" and doing a "make" doesn't solve the problem. The make "has nothing to do". Only the debug lib is created, how do I create the release?

    Thanks

    Yes, of course I've tried it ;-) but unsuccessfully

    $ pwd

    $ ls

    make: *** No rule to make target `release'. Stop.

    There's no reference to a 'release' keyword in the Makefile. Here's how the whole qtbase was configured:
    @
    $ ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
    @

    I've reconfigured with -debug-and-release option, but still no release rule and other errors raised.

    @
    $ ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -debug-and-release
    (...)

    $ make

    Hi,

    Can the owner of this documentation pls update the steps for running the 'configure' script on Win7+MinGW/MSys.

    The correct command as pointed by 'JKSH' user is
    $configure.bat -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop

    I think the wiki should mention that the build needs at least 3 GB of RAM to build WebKit.

    I was getting a "runtime/CodeCache.cpp
    The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem."
    error when using make -j 4.
    I had to do a make without specifying '-j 4' (which "I think is serial execution":http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Parallel.html) for the build to work.

    Uncanny.

    I'm routinely compiling various Qt versions, from 4.8 to 5.1, with make -j9 and never had an issue. Well, once :)

    Maybe your "make" is outdated?
