Qt5 source build problem on Windows

[redBeard]

downloaded windows source 5.0.0 version. Building with VS 2008.

Configured it with:

> qtbase\configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -debug -shared -qt-sql-mysql -qt-sql-odbc -opengl desktop -qt-style-windowsvista -no-rtti -no-icu

Tried to make and that failed with:

> nmake

Interesting.... the directory where I'm making this is 'C:\Programs\Qt\5.0.0-dynamic-debug' there is a Qt5Bootstrapd.prl file in 'lib'.

There is a Qt5Bootstrap.lib file in C:\Programs\Qt\5.0.0-dynamic-release\lib.

but, but....

I didn't put it there or make it or whatever.

How/why is the configure/make system creating that structure?

This problem is due to the fact that I had the term 'debug' in my directory structure, as in: C:\Programs\Qt\5.0.0-dynamic-debug.

I changed the last path component to '5.0.0-dd' and this problem went away.

sheesh.
