Fatal error when compiling Qt in Windows
qt, qt5, visual-studio-2010
Solution
You have spaces and parenthesis in your env paths. Try to use short path, you can get them by opening a Windows command prompt with `cmd` and type `dir /X`. Short names will be in front of corresponding directories
for example, if you have a script to set up your environment :
SET VISUALDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
SET PATH=%VISUALDIR%\VC\bin;%PATH%
becomes
SET VISUALDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1.0
SET PATH=%VISUALDIR%\VC\bin;%PATH%
If you have no script, the faulty path could be set in the default Windows `PATH` environment variable. Then you'll have to manually edit `PATH` variable and apply short paths here.

Problem
I tried to build Qt 5.0.1 with MSVS2010 in Windows 7. These are my steps: - Extract source code into C:\Qt\5.0.1 - Start VS2010 command prompt - Type configure (this step took approximately 45 minute) - Type nmake After an hour I get the following error: ``` "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDKUtilities\bin\x86\fxc.exe" /nologo /E standardvs /T vs_2_0 /Fh shaders\standardvs.h ..\..\..\3rdparty\angle \src\libGLESv2\shaders\Blit.vs 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2' Stop. ``` I searched online, and saw many solutions, but none of them solved my problem. I even re-installed Windows and repeated those steps but I got the same error again.
