configure error - qtbase/configure not found. Did you forget to run init-repository?

I'm not certain how big of a faux pas it is to double post if the reply involves the solution, more or less, but I figured out the problem with perl init-repository . The wrong version of perl was being used, since msys was in my system Path. With it removed, perl init-repository , and the configure both worked like a charm. Hopefully someone will find these blunders useful and informative.

I'm guessing you're using Perl from a Cygwin installation, eh? The give-away: '/hdd/MyPath/Qt_5_0/C:/MyPath/Qt_5_0/qtbase/configure not found' I see the '/hdd/MyPath/...' structure.

I had the same problem and I tried to build Qt5 using Perl from my Cygwin installation.

What I did:

- Start VS 2008
- Tools | VS 2008 command prompt
- > cd c:\programs\qt\5.0
- > (update LIB and INCLUDE to add my MySQL details)
- > PATH=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin
- > configure -prefix....

Same error.

I downloaded ActiveState Perl and installed it. I was successful in getting configure to run as documented how to run it.

But now I have a problem building in general. That's another thread...

Same here: my `perl` was the one coming with git-bash - 5.8.8 built for msys. After installing ActivePerl, and setting my PATH=C:\Perl64\bin;%PATH%, init-repository starts working.
