Qt/CE 4.4.0 Beta 1 installation problem

[jimfan]

I've tried the regular build and the shadow build, both got the same error. Here's what I did:

(1) install 4.4.0Beta-1 into C:\Qt\4.4.0-beta1 directory
(2) Launch cmd32 window from VS2005 tools menu
(3) Created shadow directory C:\Qt\release
(4) Add C:\Qt\release\bin into the path environment variable
(5) type: C:\qt\4.4.0-beta1\qtsources\configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform xxxxxxx -no-mmx -no-iwmmxt -release
where xxxxx is the name of our package under mkspec.

It runs for a while and stops at this place:

Thanks for your help!

Found the solution by myself.

file:///C:/Qt/4.4.0-beta1/qtsources/doc/html/shadow-builds-wince.html

This is not correct.

In shadow directory must be at the same level with Qt source directory which is C:\qt\4.4.0-beta1\qtsources. Therefore if you are to build under directoryA, you need to put it under C:\Qt\4.4.0-beta1\directoryA instead of C:\Qt\directoryA.
