QT powershell error windows-build-qt-static.ps1 - qt

Question

After 6-7 attempts to compile QT static version i used this article Building_a_static_Qt_for_Windows_using_MinGW
and again errors:
I have installed QT 5.7.
I downloaded
windows-build-qt-static.ps1 then changing the necessary lines

param(
$QtSrcUrl = "https://download.qt.io/snapshots/qt/5.8/5.8.0/latest_src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0.7z",

$QtVersion = "5.7",
$MingwDir = "C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\gcc.exe",
[switch]$NoPause = $false
)
and the error is

Answer 1

This windows-build-qt-static.ps1 script worked for me a year ago.
Note at line 117, I just removed one * from path C:\Qt\Tools\mingw*\bin\gcc.exe between Qt\ and Tools

.SYNOPSIS
Build a static version of Qt for Windows.
.DESCRIPTION
This scripts downloads Qt source code, compiles and installs a static version
of Qt. It assumes that a prebuilt Qt / MinGW environment is already installed,
typically in C:\Qt. This prebuilt environment uses shared libraries. It is
supposed to remain the main development environment for Qt. This script adds
a static version of the Qt libraries in order to allow the construction of
standalone and self-sufficient executable.
This script is typically run from the Windows Explorer.
Requirements:
- Windows PowerShell 3.0 or higher.
- 7-zip.
.PARAMETER QtSrcUrl
URL of the Qt source file archive.
By default, use the latest identified version.
.PARAMETER QtStaticDir
Root directory where the static versions of Qt are installed.
By default, use C:\Qt\Static.
.PARAMETER QtVersion
The Qt version. By default, this script tries to extract the version number
from the Qt source file name.
.PARAMETER MingwDir
Root directory of the MinGW prebuilt environment. By default, use the version
which was installed by the prebuilt Qt environment.
.PARAMETER NoPause
Do not wait for the user to press <enter> at end of execution. By default,
execute a "pause" instruction at the end of execution, which is useful
when the script was run from Windows Explorer.
