I am trying to build Qt 5.15.1 by cloning the repo and following the README but I came across an issue an issue.

Everything went seemingly well till the step where I needed to run the configure file following the way mentioned in the README first I had an issue that required me to add a -platform tag so I did.

 ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -platform win32-g++

Executing the command resulted in the following output

+ cd qtbase
+ /e/qt5/qtbase/configure -top-level -prefix /e/qt5/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests -platform win32-g++
<srcbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
<bldbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
<outbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
Creating qmake...
.......................................................................Done.
Info: creating super cache file E:qt5.qmake.super
Info: creating cache file E:qt5.qmake.cache
Info: creating stash file E:qt5.qmake.stash

And it was stuck there and never proceeded, I canceled it and tried rerunning the command and now every time I run it this is what I get

+ cd qtbase
+ /e/qt5/qtbase/configure -top-level -developer-build -opensource -nomake tests -nomake examples -platform win32-g++
<srcbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
<bldbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
<outbase> = e:/qt5/qtbase
Creating qmake...
.Done.

Even when I try executing the next step which is make -j4 there is no make file so the command doesn’t work. I think it is worth mentioning that there is a qt.pro file in the directory, not exactly sure if it has anything to do with my issue or not.
