Error when building Qt Application: /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I try to build my Qt application using these commands:

qmake -recursive external.pro
make

But it fails with this error:

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [sub-bzip2-1-0-5-bzip2-1-0-5-pro-make_first] Error 2

Why am I getting this error, and how to fix it?

I also had this problem

The problem was resolved by renaming the project folder

Project1210(2018-03-26) -> Project1210

I had the same error, but in my case it was because I had added Cygwin's bin directory to PATH in Windows:

Removing it fixed the error (you also need to restart Qt Creator so it refreshes its environment variables).

When you install Qt, make sure you take an installer windows for mingw (e.g qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.0.exe) and during the installation, check if it detect your mingw installation (specially your make.exe binary). Qt need to patch your binary.
