Hi, I am trying to build qt-5.15.11on macOS11, but I'm getting below error while configuration:
Project ERROR: This module does not accept configure command line arguments.
Here are the QT build files I am setting in my Makefile:
QT_BUILD_FILES =
"${QTSRCFILE}/configure"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qt.pro"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qtbase"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qttools"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qttranslations"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qtdeclarative"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qtwebchannel"
"${QTSRCFILE}/qtwebengine"

Her is how I'm setting the config and output before I get the PROJECT ERROR:

Is there anything I am missing? Any help/pointers will be highly appriciated.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

From the looks of it, I think it's thé -I and -L arguments that are wrong. If memory serves well, there's a space unlike when you pass them to the compiler.

That said, why use OpenSSL ? macOS provides their implemention of secure transport.
