Trying to build static Qt5 in ubuntu 12.04 for deploying standalone executable - make errors

[bloks]

First post edited.

It is better to add another post with your new results instead of editing the previous. With adding new post you will make it easier for a reader to understand you problem and the history of the problem.

Could you post the error messages from a compiler or linker.
The messages that you have posted are from make and are not very useful.

[bloks]

How do I retrieve the error messages from the compiler/linker?

[andreyc]

The lines in make output above those that you put in your message.
It should contain words like "error" or "warning"

[bloks]

I think these should be it:

Did you delete directory with previously failed build of qt and unarchive it fresh before run configure with the options?

[bloks]

I ran 'make uninstall' then deleted the directory every time.

[andreyc]

You don't need to run 'make uninstall' if have not install it yet. Just delete is enough.
Most of the messages are warning from third party libraries. The error is
@
sh: 1: /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner: not found
Project ERROR: Failed to parse qmlimportscanner output.
@
Is it possible that you run out of space on /tmp ?

Also I just noticed that you set prefix to the build directory. I don't think it is correct. I have not tried it. Usually '-prefix' is for the prefix to an install path.
If you want to install Qt to $HOME/Qt then prefix should be $HOME/Qt
Try to change -prefix and run configure, make again on fresh un-archived directory.

[andreyc]

In addition, if you have enough space in /tmp and if change of the prefix does not help either then redirect all make output to a log file and try to find out why qmlimportscanner is not found. Was it build?

[bloks]

I've followed your instructions and have the output in a file. The qmlimportscanner file is clearly there but for some reason the make file can't see it.

[andreyc]

Have you checked a space on /tmp ?
@
df -h /tmp
@

After build failed do you see qmlimportscanner?
@
ls -l /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner
@

[bloks]

df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 451G 38G 391G 9% /

There should be more than enough space in /tmp.

ls -l qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4330556 May 21 10:17 qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner

[andreyc]

I tried to build Qt 5.2.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit and it failed to build qtwebkit. So I don't know if it passed or not the point where your build failed. I see that qmlimportscannel is built but I don't see any call to it.

I noticed that you build Qt under root.
Try to build it under normal user, maybe root environment is restricted.

[bloks]

I tried building it without root, and I still got these errors:

Using PCH Using PCHsh: 1: /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1/qtdeclarative/bin/qmlimportscanner: not found
Project ERROR: Failed to parse qmlimportscanner output.

The file is there as usual.
