    Hi,

    On running the configure script for starting the build process i am getting the below error:

    Administrator@VALUED-7ZSFP29H ~/qt_repo/qt5 (stable)
    $ configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests

    • /c/Users/Administrator/qt_repo/qt5/qtbase/configure -developer-build -opensour
      ce -nomake examples -nomake tests

      The build script does not currently recognize all
      platforms supported by Qt.
      Rerun this script with a -platform option listed to
      set the system/compiler combination you use.

    *** qtbase/configure exited with non-zero status.
    Administrator@VALUED-7ZSFP29H ~/qt_repo/qt5 (stable)
    $

    I tried setting the -platform as win32-g++ but that is causing the make program to crash.

    I am using MinGW 4.7.2 with Msys 1.0 on windows 7 32 bit.

    Can someone please guide me resolving the errir!

      Hi kdk85,

      The 'configure' shell script doesn't work on Windows, even if you use MSYS. Run 'configure.bat' instead.

      Personally, I placed my MinGW 'bin' directory in my PATH, and always built Qt from cmd.exe instead of MSYS. I've never had any problems.

          You're welcome :)

          You can find the Wiki menu on the right of the wiki page, above your name. Click the Edit button.
