    Out of curiosity, why not use a pre-built version ?

    You can make the configure script more verbose adding the -v option.

      the problem was in this : "-android-ndk ANDROID_NDK_PATH" I had to provide the full path or use %ANDROID_NDK_PATH% as the string was passed as it is not as an environment variable
      I think the error should be : can't find ndk path

        So you succeed building Qt ?

          I now started the build with mingw32-make and the build will take some time

              Did you check if you have that file somewhere ?

                @deveLoper5122 said in building qt 5.9 on windows for android results in 'ERROR: Cannot detect Android NDK toolchain':

                qfontengine_ft_p

                I have it in E:\qt-android-source\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.2\qtbase\src\platformsupport\fontdatabases\freetype

                but don't know why the compiler didn't resolve it

                  That's a pretty long path for not much benefit.

                  I'd recommend shortening it and also make an out of source build.

                    I can't change the dir now after I started building , I had to rebuild from scratch again right ?

                      Yes, that's correct.

                        I could change the dir with a symbol link to qt base and resumed the build again

                            the file exists but the javac doesn't seem to be redircted with the symbol link so I have to restart the whole build with a shorter path
