    I'm having problems getting Qt 5.1 to compile:

Remove the older one from your PATH, clean your build tree (i.e. delete all the files that have been compiled so far), and try again.

      Also, what compiler are you using? How did you configure + build Qt?

        Thanks. I checked the requirements as it pertained to environment variables but didn't check the path. Undoubtedly that is the reason as the compile seems to be working OK, so far, on another machine.

        The compiler is g++ and I was using these configuration settings:
        ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -system-sqlite -plugin-sql-sqlite -plugin-sql-odbc -plugin-sql-mysql -nomake demo -nomake examples

          I am building from source on Windows with VS2012.

          I update the sources from git using the command:

          qtrepotools\bin\qt5_tool -p --Branch stable

          The problem occurs because the headers in qtbase\include don't get updated when I 'nmake' and those include files are in the include path for each of the subdirectories.

          Any idea what I need to do to get the sources to build after updating?

          If I make clean, run configure again, and nmake everything works. But it would be better if I didn't have to take those steps every time.

            That IS the expected procedure. configure performs some bootstrapping and builds a small subset of qtbase.git, which is then used to build the rest of Qt. After you update the code, you have to re-bootstrap (i.e. rerun configure)

            You can simplify things by writing a Batch file to run configure with the options you want.

              Actually I tried the reconfigure and it still fails. What does work is doing the "really clean" clean, then configure and rebuild:

              git submodule foreach --recursive "git clean -dfx"

              Maybe the mistake I made this time was not cleaning before updating from the repository. Ugh. And now I'm stuck in some strange state that requires a "really clean" clean and rebuild.

                    I had to give root permission to run this script & fix this issue.
                    But why it is required to give root permission to run script that is present inside my working directory

                            In the Issues section at the end, one helpful hint may be to describe the error where configure fails on MacOS when certain brew or port packages have been installed with a message that says that no XCB lib found, like this:

                            Running configuration tests...
                            The test for linking against libxcb and support libraries failed!
                            You might need to install dependency packages, or pass -qt-xcb.
                            See src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README.

                            The easy workaround is to pass -no-pkg-config to configure.

                            See also this patch which has not yet been accepted:

                              In the System Requirements -> Windows -> Windows Graphics Drivers section where it says that the DirectX SDK must be installed, perhaps this link

                              http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812

                              would be a more useful one than what's there:

                              http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/directx/default.aspx

                              That is, we don't want to read about DirectX, we just want to download and install the SDK and get on with using Qt! ;-)

                                I certainly don't see this stated in the wiki page, but it seems to me that flex is required whenever using Angle… This was in a build of qtbase only, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a webkit option that caused this build failure:

                                win_flex --noline --nounistd --outfile=Tokenizer.cpp ........\3rdparty\angle\src\compiler\preprocessor\Tokenizer.l
                                'win_flex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

                                  I'm trying to build Qt 5 from git with Visual Studio 2008.
                                  My os is Windows Vista SP2

                                  The configuration seems to be ok, but I have a strange problem in the building (nmake): the first time that rcc is used (with mimetypes.qrc), it crashes, so the building can't continue.
                                  I've tried to run rcc manually. If there is some error in the qrc file (eg some file missing) it correcly outputs the error. Instead if it's all right, it crashes.

                                  I also tried to compile the source taken from the zip in the downolad page, but I have the same result.

                                  I don't know what I have to do to better understand the problem.

                                    Adding some debug lines in the rcc.cpp code I've found that the problem is the function "qCompress()".
                                    So I added the -qt-zlib option to the configure tool, and now seems to work!

                                    So my question now is why the system zlib cause this problem? I have installed the 7.0 version of the Windows SDK, maybe the 7.1 is needed.
                                    The guide indicates a generic Windows SDK 7 version for Visual Studio 2008...

                                    Now I'm going to build all and I hope that it works!

                                      What compiler was your system Zlib compiled with?

                                          I'm guessing something else installed zlib on your system, and that version is incompatible with MSVC 2008. (Another possibility is, there's no zlib on your system but configuration utility thought you did)
