    Hello everyone.
    I tried to build Qt with Visual Studio 12.0 compliler (MS VS 2013) using "This manual":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git.
    Currently i am on this step:
    @> configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop@
    As far as I can see from console output, it tries to build a qmake.exe in qtbase directory.
    Here is a pic from console:
    !http://i62.fastpic.ru/big/2014/0521/cd/b720dcaafcdd6003cbc7e7abd53651cd.png!

    Last error in Russian means that there is no qmake.exe in this directory.
    So, how do i get it and what possible reasons for its absence?
    I have installed Qt wth MinGW and there is a qmake.exe there, but i am not sure if it can be used in this case.

      The "this manual" link is not correct. It points to your message.

      What version of Qt you are building?

        Updated the link, thanks for noticing.
        I am Qt 5, not sure what subversion, it was obtained with this code today:
        @

        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5
        cd qt5
        git checkout stable
        perl init-repository
        @

        Also, I tried qmake.exe from MinGW version of Qt that was already installed on my PC (it is qmake.exe 3.0) and new error is about android NDK. I am not sure is it mandatory to add android NDK to my build of Qt (i don't need it). Also, i am not sure about adding qmake.exe manually, maybe it was a mistake.

          Hi and welcome to devnet,

          The first thing I would try is to change the name of your path. Qt+VS13 looks like a good candidate to path hell. Rather an underscore (don't use spaces)

          Hope it helps

            Thanks, i totally agree that using + in path wasn't good idea.
            Changed!
            It really helped. Thanks a lot!
            A little more explanation:
            Correct version of qmake.exe was generated after I changed the path and re-run configuring command.
