You cannot configure qt separately within a top-level build

I am getting this error continuously while trying to build Qt5.9.5 source for Raspberry-Pi 3. What can be the possible reason ?
log is given below.Target os: Fedberry 27

hello guys , finally iam able to build Qt after making two blank files named
1.) .qmake.stash
2.) .qmake.super
in build directory. So the problem is happening due to not creating this two files in the configuring step. I don't know why configuring script is behaving like this. -
Hi
You are not stating Qt version, platform etc so hard to geuss at.Might be this ?

@Vivx701 it looks like you're trying to cross compile (-device-option CROSS_COMPILE=...) so are you following this guide? It worked for me with Raspbian Stretch, Qt 5.10.1 and Pi Zero W
Just in case, you stated "for Raspberry-Pi 3" but you shown configurating it for RPi 2 -> "-device linux-rasp-pi2-g++" -

@Pablo-J.-Rogina Iam not building for rasbian . My target os is fedberry
@Vivx701 said in You cannot configure qt separately within a top-level build:
fedberry
Ok, it would be better to have stated it previously :-) (saving you and me a couple of posts...)
Even with that, I guess the suggested guide would still apply from step #5 onwards, wouldn't it?

@Pablo-J.-Rogina : Still it gives the same error.

@Pablo-J.-Rogina : I just mounted my sd card under /mnt/raspberry-rootfs
@Vivx701 Ok, it's up to you. All I can say it's the guide helped me achieving the goal of cross-compiling Qt for RPi
Roger over and out! -
Hi,
You seem to be building Qt from within a directory that's inside the sources, is that correct ?
If so, then that's likely the problem. You should build Qt either within the top folder of the sources or even better in a folder outside of the sources.

@SGaist Now i created a directory outside Qt source code and tried running this . see the output at the end same error.

@SGaist This time iam trying to build with in Qt source code directory , see the output . same error

Are you doing that from clean sources ?
If not, you should nuke them as well as the build folders you used and start over with an out of source build.
