configure error - qtbase/configure not found. Did you forget to run init-repository?

I'm not certain how big of a faux pas it is to double post if the reply involves the solution, more or less, but I figured out the problem with perl init-repository . The wrong version of perl was being used, since msys was in my system Path. With it removed, perl init-repository , and the configure both worked like a charm. Hopefully someone will find these blunders useful and informative.
