    Tried to keep it simple and just ran configure followed by nmake. Same error: Unknown module in Qt: bootstrap-private. WTF?

      Tried something else again. went and ran configure in the source directory (Command line: -prefix d:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\build2 -opengl desktop -nomake tests -nomake examples). Then i ran mingw32-make in the Source folder. Thats what i got:

      0_1560020236919_source_dir_configure_mingw32_make.png

      Anyone any idea, what the hell is going on here? I am starting to think Qt might not be worth it anymore trying to get back into, which would be fine crying shame!
