    Description

      When I execute configure, for Windows/MingW Qt, qmake stops after "Reading [...] demos.pro" with the message "QMake failed, return code 3".
      As I'm not familiar with QT build process, neither qmake, .pro files, etc... the SOLUTION I found was to remove fom projects.pro the failure parts, so I removed from projects.pro the options to compile demos, examples and translations.
      After modifying the file projects.pro, I succesfully compiled QT.

      So, please, someone from QT team fix the projects.pro file, so other people don't have the same problem as I did, I took a couple of hours to discover the problem.
