I have same error! I try to build Qt 5.2.1 for a whole week, buy every time have this error. Someone can help to solve this problem?
(sorry for my English grammar)

Philippe F.

one year later, the problem is still present.
the turn around found by defining PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE as a pointer to LPITEMIDLIST is not enought here. Should not deference the return of SHParseDisplayName (with &file).
<edit>
turnaround found when trying to build under mingw , gcc version 4.8.1
but not necessary under Qt's mingw gcc 4.9.1 found in actual Qt5.4.1 distribution
</edit>

my mod to pass this point :
in fileutils.cpp line 298 :

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
	const QString nativeSeparatorName(QDir::toNativeSeparators(name));
	const LPCTSTR nameC = reinterpret_cast<LPCTSTR>(nativeSeparatorName.utf16()); // MinGW
	LPITEMIDLIST file;//<<<<<<<<<< direct use of LPITEMIDLIST 
	HRESULT hr = SHParseDisplayName(nameC, NULL, file, 0, NULL);//<<<<<<<< instead of &file
	if (FAILED(hr))
		return name;
	TCHAR buffer[MAX_PATH];
	
	if (!SHGetPathFromIDList(file, buffer))
		return name;
	return QDir::fromNativeSeparators(QString::fromUtf16(reinterpret_cast<const ushort *>(buffer)));
#else // Filesystem is case-insensitive only on Windows
	return name;
#endif
