Issues in building QT for android

[RahulRaj]

I am trying to build the android QT as explained in http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt5ForAndroidBuilding

I could successfully clone the git .. The first error i got was
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
‘configure’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I changed the ‘./configure’ to just ‘configure’ and could see the progress , but again got the following error

—————————————
-android-ndk-host is not a valid option : So removed this parameters from the commad
—————————————

afterwards selected to build it as “open source edition” pressed the “y” option. then the following error
is produced
————————————-

Running configuration tests…
Could not find output file: No such file or directory
——————————————————————————————-
Unable to make out what does this mean .. any help would be appreciated

Is this the only way to setup QT for android on my windows machine ?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What OS exactly are you on ? Did you install the dependencies for android development ? Did you consider using on the provided pre-built package ?

[SGaist]

You followed the instructions for Linux/OS X

"This":http://qt-project.org/wiki/building_qt-android_on_windows link on the second line is what you should have followed

Happy coding

Is that expected behavior ? Or is it an error ?
