Building Qt - NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'

Question

I\'m trying to build Qt5.5 with static linking using msvc2015 but I\'m having the following errors (actually there\'s a whole lot of them but I\'m only listing a few, they\'re a

Answer 1

Run the command prompt as administrator, I did it and worked for me!

Answer 2

@Bowdzone thanks. this patch worked like a charm for building qt4.8.7

I also needed to append "$(QMAKESPEC)" == "win32-msvc2015" after msvc2013 option in C:\repo\qt\4.8.7\qmake\Makefile.win32( line 27), to get the configure command to work - as noted in building qt for msvc2015 guide lines

BTW I had to build qt4.8.7 as a dependency for 3dslicer OSS package.

p.s I dont have enough points to add-a-comment. This is a validation that the patch worked for me.

Answer 3

This exact error has been discussed in this thread in the Qt forum. It links to an unofficial patch which can be found here.

Answer 4

It is happening because you probably have a very long path for location of source codes. So try to shorten the path for location of codes. For example put them in a short folder name in root of a drive.
