问题
As I would like to build my Windows version of Qt5 application (C++) statically, I downloaded the source of Qt5 from git. Installed all dependencies like Python, Perl, etc. When I ran the following command
configure.bat -static -opensource -release -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform win32-g++ -c++11 -opengl desktop -no-icu -skip qtwebkit
Everything was fine and the config program said "Qt is now configured for building. Just run mingw32-make."
When I execute as requested, it ran for minutes but result in a following error at the end.

Did anyone encounter similar problem before? I have used similar approach to compile source on Linux, I do not understand why it failed on Windows. I would be glad to know what is wrong with my approach. Thank you very much.
