    I'm trying to build Qt and when I run the configure step, I get an error:

    @[C:\qtbld\qt5]configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license -skip qtwebkit-examples

    • cd qtbase
    • C:\qtbld\qt5\qtbase\configure.bat -top-level -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license -skip qtwebkit-examples
      Please wait while bootstrapping configure ...
      <srcbase> = C:/qtbld/qt5/qtbase
      <outbase> = C:/qtbld/qt5/qtbase

    Stop.

    There is, in fact, no qtbasetools folder. There is a qtbase.

    Yes, I have run perl init-repository successfully.

    Any ideas?

        You don't need lines #2 and #3 -- I'm guessing that those are the source of your problem. Just call configure.bat and nmake in C:\qtbld\qt5

        (You'll need to clean your source tree before re-configuring + building)

          My bad - I was using JPSoft's Take Command, a cmd.exe replacement (a really good one, btw) and it seems the fancy configure script confuses it in some way. Using the Win7.1 SDK cmd script works fine.
