        Please, have some patience.

        Unless you add -no-opengl, you'll get an OpenGL build. Without any precision on Windows, it will be an ANGLE build. If you add -opengl desktop you'll get a standard OpenGL build.

        Run configure and then call mingw32-make.

        I would advise using an out of source build, to avoid polluting the source tree with the files generated by the configure/compilation processes.

          Thank you very much!

          I have now the default installation of Qt with course is here: C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1\5.1.1\Src\qtbase

          Should I to create another folder and copy to here of the course? For example: C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1_static\5.1.1\Src\qtbase

          Should I run this commands:
          configure -static -opengl desktop
          mingw32-make

          Should I intall DirectX SDK?

          Can I use DirectX from Qt?

                I am building now from C:\Qt\Qt5.1.1\5.1.1\Src\qtbase

                I ran mingw32-make

                It is building now successfully

                Should I run mingw32-make install later?

                          "/i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed: No space left on device" means your hard drive is full.

                          You don't have everything built.

                          To build your application statically, use your static version of Qt
