Issue facing during compilation of static environment

[programmer_123]

I was building QT static environment with the help of qt-everywhere-source.

I have script file, i i ran the script file i am getting the following error.

Out-File : Access to the path 'C:\QT\Static\src\qt-everywhere-src-5.13.1\qtbase\mkspecs\win32-g++' is denied.
At C:\Qt\windows-buil-qt-static_x64.ps1:176 char:6

    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

Below snippet is the script which i am using for static build.

 .SYNOPSIS

  Build a static version of Qt for Windows.

 .DESCRIPTION

  This scripts downloads Qt source code, compiles and installs a static version
  of Qt. It assumes that a prebuilt Qt / MinGW environment is already installed,
  typically in C:\Qt. This prebuilt environment uses shared libraries. It is
  supposed to remain the main development environment for Qt. This script adds
  a static version of the Qt libraries in order to allow the construction of
  standalone and self-sufficient executable.

  This script is typically run from the Windows Explorer.

  Requirements:
  - Windows PowerShell 3.0 or higher.
  - 7-zip.

 .PARAMETER QtSrcUrl

  URL of the Qt source file archive.
  By default, use the latest identified version.

 .PARAMETER QtStaticDir

  Root directory where the static versions of Qt are installed.
  By default, use C:\Qt\Static.

 .PARAMETER QtVersion

  The Qt version. By default, this script tries to extract the version number
  from the Qt source file name.

 .PARAMETER MingwDir

  Root directory of the MinGW prebuilt environment. By default, use the version
  which was installed by the prebuilt Qt environment.

 .PARAMETER NoPause

  Do not wait for the user to press <enter> at end of execution. By default,
  execute a "pause" instruction at the end of execution, which is useful
  when the script was run from Windows Explorer.

One more issue with the script!!!!

After adding -no -opengl (or) -no -egl flag in the configuration, stilll i am getting the below error.

Did you do that from a clean state (without previous configure/build artefacts)?
