    Here is my build.bat:
    REM start of batch file…
    PATH=%PATH%;C:\QT5\qtbase\gnuwin32\bin;C:\QT5\qtbase\bin
    REM This is for OpenGL (The openGL version 2.1 and above required )
    c:\qt5\configure -prefix C:\QT5\qtbase -opensource -make-tool jom -platform win32-msvc2010 -icu -I C:\icu\include -L C:\icu\lib64 -nomake examples -nomake tests

      Use configure.exe on Windows. Also, if you want to run with OpenGL, pass -opengl desktop to configure.

        Actually you don't have to add ".exe". Windows has a bad reputation but it's not THAT stupid ;)

        Where is the script run from? Maybe it's a working directory problem? I'm guessing based on the "has no top level .qmake.conf file" message.
        Instead of calling c:\Qt5\configure try to cd to C:\Qt5 and then call configure.

        btw. It's Qt, QT is Apple QuickTime ;)

          I'm facing the same problem.
          After I successfully build Qt using

          configure -release -opensource -opengl desktop -nomake tests

          then configure always failed with these errors ( I tried serveral configure options):

          Project WARNING: You should probably load(qt_build_config) first in bootstrap.p
          o for QtBootstrap, as the latter also load()s qt_module.
          Project MESSAGE: Not doing so may lead to qt_module.prf overriding compiler/lin
          er options in your .pro file.
          Project MESSAGE: Ignore this warning with CONFIG+=no_qt_module_warning if you k
          ow what you are doing.
          Project ERROR: Project has no top-level .qmake.conf file.
          Qmake failed, return code 3

          Even though I run
          configure -release -opensource -opengl desktop -nomake tests
          again, it also fails.

          My working directory should be correct. I cd to D:\Qt5 then call configure.

            I found that D:\Qt5.qmake.conf doesn't exists, so I copy one from D:\Qt5\qtbae.qmake.conf
            Then still the same error

              Add -no-vcproj option,

              configure -debug-and-release -opensource -opengl desktop -nomake tests -no-vcproj

              configure success, but build failed:

                Finally, I successfully build it using jom.
