Dear forum users,

i have successfully compiled Qt under MSYS with MinGW-w64 (Not MinGW). Now i'm trying to do the same with Cygwin, however i'm unable to succeed with neither the configure script nor the configure.exe program. i'm using Windows XP Pro and Qt 4.8.1 OpenSource.

i am trying to configure Qt with:
Qt Code: 
  1. #!/bin/sh
  2. ../../../../QtSources/4.8.1/configure.exe \
  3.             -fast \
  4.             -shared \
  5.             -debug-and-release \
  6.             -opensource \
  7.             -confirm-license \
  8.             -no-dsp \
  9.             -no-vcproj \
  10.             -no-qt3support \
  11.             -no-webkit \
  12.             -no-phonon \
  13.             -no-phonon-backend \
  14.             -platform win32-g++ \
  15.             -nomake demos -nomake examples \
  16.             -prefix $BASEDIR/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/mingw-w64-cygw

First of all, when using cygwin, mingw32-make is not available (i get an error from the configure.exe binary: "execute: File or path is not found (mingw32-make)", right after all the headers generation). So i have downloaded a copy of mingw32-make from msys and put it in cygwin (*gasp*). The configure script goes further, but still fails.
The failure seems related to the fact that the MKSPEC file didn't find the cygwin environment, and is issuing windows command instead of unix. The error looks like th

Is there anyone here successful compiling Qt 4.8.x with a cygwin environment?

Thanks,
