[Interest] Can't build Qt 5.4.2 properly on virtual systems

[Tron Thomas]

I found out something interesting. On my Macintosh, where everything builds successfully, when I do a git checkout and then run the init-repository perl script the sub directory qttools has files and subfolders in it. On both the Linux and Windows virtual machine after checking out from git and running the init-repository perl, script the qttools directory is empty. The Macintosh using Perl 5.18, the Linux machine is using Perl 5.10, and the Windows machine is using version 5.20.

What could be causing the perl script to be pulling down an incomplete version of the Qt source code?

I went ahead and built anyway in case the file was irrelevant for the version. I got the same results. The build is missing designer, assistant, and uitools (and maybe other things as well). The output that remained in the build console did not seem to indicate any errors for why the build finished without building everything.
