    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    From the look of ./configure you are doing a build within the first level of the sources. Don't.
    Do an out of source build.
    It's shown in the Linux building guide.

        If you are meaning calling configure from the root of the Qt sources, then yes, that is wrong.
        As already written, do an out of source build just as explained in the documentation.

            Can you please list the exact steps you used ?
            Also, did you re-start from a clean set of sources ?

                    Can you share the summary once configure has run ?
