Unfortunately, both are correct.

If you run the top-level configure and you want a no-install build, you need to 
pass -prefix=$PWD/qtbase. If you run the qtbase configure, you pass -prefix=$PWD.

When you run configure -help, you always get the help output from the qtbase 
configure. That's why it says $PWD instead of $PWD/qtbase.

In any case, -developer-build turns that option on by default, so you 
shouldn't need to pass it. You need it if you're not making a developer build 
-- that is, if you're a user of Qt, not a developer of Qt.
