    Hi. Around a month ago, I was able to build a static version of Qt on my Windows 10 64-bit machine. Since then, I wiped my drive and reinstalled my operating system, so I lost my previous Qt installations. Therefore, earlier today, I attempted to build a static version of Qt again (5.12.2), but now I am encountering issues during the build process that did not occur beforehand. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed about my PC since the last time, besides reinstalling my OS.

    I open the x64 native commands tools for VS2017 and configure Qt with "configure -release -static -prefix "c:/qt/static" -nomake tools -nomake tests -nomake examples -skip webengine". This is the exact same configuration as I used the previous time when I was able to successfully build. Then, during the build process with jom, I receive the following errors:

    Generating Code...
    lib /NOLOGO /OUT:c:\qt\static\lib\Qt5Bootstrap.lib @C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Local\Temp\Qt5Bootstrap.lib.5000.107750.jom
    jom: C:\Qt\Static\qtbase\Makefile [sub-src-make_first] Error 2
    jom: C:\Qt\Static\Makefile [module-qtbase-make_first] Error 2

    I have also tried building with nmake instead of jom, but it also fails with a similar error.

    Any help on fixing this issue would be appreciated.

      @psyfl This doesn't look like actual error. There should be something above these lines in the build log.

        No, these are the only errors in the build log. When I try to build with nmake instead of jom, then these are the errors I get:

          I've found that I'm able to build correctly if I omit the -prefix option and install to the default path instead.
