[Interest] How to checkout a specific version of Qt from git?

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I want to get Qt 5.7.1 using git. This is what I tried:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt5-android
cd qt5-android
git checkout tags/v5.7.1
perl init-repository

But it failed with the error "fatal: Remote branch 5.7.1 not found in upstream origin”

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Regards,

Nuno
