Source build fails under windows

[lucaghera]

Hi all,

I have problems compiling QT 5.2.1 under windows.

Few months ago I compiled correctly the version 5.1.1.

When I try to compile Qt from the visual studio command prompt I got the following error:

@
configure -developer-build -opensource -opengl desktop -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license

Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 11.00.61030.0

    copy qmake.exe C:\Software\Qt\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe

The system cannot find the file specified.
Running configuration tests...
'C:\Software\Qt\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe' is not recognized as an internal or extern
al command,
operable program or batch file.
QMake failed!

The qmake.exe file is actually created.

Any idea to fix it?

Welcome to devnet!
It seems like being a problem with the environment. Please check the PATH variable for the source of qmake.exe.

Thanks!

The PATH contains the directory "C:\Software\Qt\qtbase\bin".
Indeed if I manually copy the file from C:\Software\Qt\qtbase\qmake\qmake.exe to C:\Software\Qt\qtbase\bin\qmake.exe the setup proceed.

The next error is

@

Could not find output file: No such file or directory

Only these two messages?
There should be provided a filename, too.

bq.

Find below the copy and paste of what I can read from the console.
It's part of the configure command plus it re-execution after manually copy and paste qmake.exe.

Thanks!

Sorry, lucaghera, I cannot see what's going wrong.
Hopefully someone else had a similiar isssue and may assist with that.
