Configure.exe does not support -qpa option in Qt 4.8 preview
-
I downloaded the Qt 4.8 preview to try the new platform abstraction (lighthouse) feature. I'm trying to build on Windows (and cross-compile for another platform) but configure.exe reports that -qpa is an "unknown option". If I build on Linux, the configure shell script recognizes -qpa as a valid option.
Is this a known limitation of configure.exe or a bug? Does anyone know of a workaround so I can configure Qt 4.8 on Windows with qpa support?

The reason should be that
qpa plugin for windows platform does not yet exist -

Does anyone know where the source for configure.exe lives? I'd be interested to see if I could fix the problem myself using the configure shell script as a reference.
