Qt 5.2.1 Windows build fails while updating path

gvanvoor

I'm trying to build Qt 5.2.1 from source, but it fails, seemingly when updating some environment variables.

I configured Qt with the following options:
-opensource -debug-and-release -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtwebkit-examples -confirm-license

and started the build using nmake. All this was executed from a batch script (which performs some pre-build checks and updates some environment variables w.r.t. icu, python and gnuwin32) from a Visual Studio 64-bit command prompt.

This is the error output:

My first thought was that the %PATH:)=^>% part was the cause of the problem, but replacing that with %PATH% results in the same error.
Anyone who can shed light on this?
I'm trying to build using Visual Studio 10 on Windows 8.1 (64bit).

I just downloaded the 5.3 beta source and compilations fails at the same point:

Just to recap: I'm building from a Visual Studio 2010 x64 Command prompt; I have installed python, perl and ruby and set up the required paths to icu. All this is happening under windows 8.1 64bit (although the same happens on windows 7 64bit).

Are you using your custom icu compilation? In that case try adding icu dlls path to system path. I have experienced the same isue while using my own icu compilation.
