    Hello, I try compile QtCreator, from github. I checkout branch 4.3 and reset head to commit v4.3.0-beta1. I use own compiled Qt 5.8.0 and Mingw 64bit.

    Do I have wrong setting build tools or I try build QtCreator from another commit?

            When this error comes, could you try make instead of make -j8 ?
            I assumed you are using make -j8 from the reference link you have given.

              @name_qt said in Build QtCreator from source code:

              the command is mingw32-make without argument "-j8"
