    On this link the author propose a workaround (although I'm not sure if this workaround is valid for my case).
    Anyway I've added this instruction (i.e. defined MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API flag as suggested)
    DEFINES += UNICODE _UNICODE WIN32 MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API=1
    in ...\win32-g++\qmake.conf
    Unfortunately it didn't help

        Sounds like something that would not happen on Linux. I have never encountered this error, so I can only wish you luck :D

          @Pavel_47 you may want to try this guide, in particular the section to setup Qt Creator

          Well, having problem with building toolchain under Windows, I decided to switch to Linux.
          But in Linux I've also met problem while configuring Qt. Here is the result if executing ./configure:

            Ancient stuff... I hope RPi will update their toolchain finally some day.

            --target=x86_64-linux-gnu

            Looks like you are not building for ARM. Either wrong toolchain or wrong ./configure flags.

                Should be CROSS_COMPILE.

                Also, on some systems (very rarely) ~/ does not work correctly, in such case use $HOME/ or full path instead.

                  Indeed, there was typo.
                  I corrected and rerun configure. New error:

                    Don't rerun configure. Clear your build directory completely and then run configure again. Easiest way to do it is to build outside of source dir.

                    Also, contrary to what the guide says, it's recommended to build using main configure script, not one located in qtbase. But ignore that for now, let's first get qtbase built :-)

                      In my case I didn't use git because my Linux machine has no connection to internet.
                      So, I downloaded source in Windows, then moved it to Linux machine.
                      So, should I just remove bin folder ?

                        Configure and make spew out files in many other places. Move it again, start fresh.

                        I'm not 100% sure it will help, but it very well might.
