Problems Building a static Qt for Windows using MinGW

[flowgeek]

hi all,

i'm trying to build a static Qt for Windows using MinGW following the wiki here: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_a_static_Qt_for_Windows_using_MinGW

it fails with the following message:

CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtExecutableHelpers.cmake:475 (message):
  Unable to build syncqt: Change Dir:
  D:/Qt/Static/src/qt-everywhere-src-6.5.1/qtbase/src/tools/syncqt/configure_time_bins

  cmd.exe /C "cd .  && C:\Strawberry\c\bin\c++.exe -O2 -g -DNDEBUG

  -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32
  -ladvapi32 && cd ."

followed by tons of error messages on undefined references (which is probably due to the failure of synchqt?)

what am i doing wrong here?!?

thanks
alex

@flowgeek ...getting some slow progress - step by step ;-)
problem was a PATH variable set in windows: C:\Strawberry\c\bin
