    Default Git failed when attempting to retrieving qt5 source code for compiling under Windows

    I am trying to build qt5 on windows. I am following the instructions from http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git . However, I am not even able retrieve the soure code successfully. The inital command “git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5” completed successfully. But the next command “perl init-repository” failed with the following error information:

    Somehow after rebooting my PC, the problem is gone.

    Now I am stuck at the configuration phase. I am using the following command

    >configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -nomake examples -nomake tests -mp

    I see the following error messages at the end:

    Generating Visual Studio project files...
    Project WARNING: You should probably load(qt_build_config) first in bootstrap.pr
    o for QtBootstrap, as the latter also load()s qt_module.
    Project MESSAGE: Not doing so may lead to qt_module.prf overriding compiler/link
    er options in your .pro file.
    Project MESSAGE: Ignore this warning with CONFIG+=no_qt_module_warning if you kn
    ow what you are doing.
    Project ERROR: Project has no top-level .qmake.conf file.
    Qmake failed, return code 3

    *** qtbase/configure exited with non-zero status.
