[SOLVED] Error building Qt for Android from Source on Windows 8

Jerdo

Hey,

I am currently trying to build Qt 5.2.1 for Android from sources due to a fix someone postet in the bugreports.
I followed every step from "here":http://qt-project.org/wiki/building_qt-android_on_windows but it fails while configuring (It's running for like a minute or two and then outputs the following):
@Running configuration tests...
Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, D:\Installed\android-ndk-r9d/toolchains/arm-l

failed.
make (e=2): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
mingw32-make: *** [arch.obj] Error 2
Could not find output file: No such file or directory@

To translate the two german sentences:
Line 2: "The system couldn't find the stated path."
Line 13: "The system couldn't find the stated file."

"D:\Installed\android-ndk-r9d" is the path to my Android NDK.
"D:\Installed\Qt_src\qt5" is the path to my git clone.

I installed everything mentioned in the tutorial and all "where" commands show the correct output.
Thanks in advance!

edit: Maybe important: I changed the android-toolchain-version option in the configure command to 4.8, cause in my ndk location was no 4.7 folder.

edit2: I found it... I had a typo in the variable ANDROID_NDK_HOST=windows-x86_64, I wrote x86-64 instead of x86_64, nice

edit3: And now I know why, cause it's also wrong "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/androidgs.html
