Qt 5.5 build fails using -opengl desktop option on WIndows

[barryfx]

I'm trying to build Qt 5.5 on WIn 7 using Visual Studio 2015 CE. I need opengl 3 support and I have the NVidia opengl driver and Cg SDK installed. I did the following at a Visual Studio command prompt:

E:\projects\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0>configure -opensource -confirm-license -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -release -c++11 -no-warnings-are-errors -platform win32-msvc2015 -opengl desktop

followed by nmake
I get the following errors:

It builds to completion if I don't add the -opengl desktop option to configure. Any ideas on what is wrong?

[ProEns08]

I have exactly the same problem, did you correct it.

[raven-worx]

i am not sure if it is required for building, but have you set the QTDIR environment variable before calling nmake?
(It should point the qtbase directory)

[ProEns08]

No, the environment variable are set. I think the problem was because I rebuild Qt in the same folder for two times. I am trying to to rebuild from a Qt new extracted source.
