I am trying to build qt source code from gerrit using below command and steps:

ssh://ranganatha_b_v@codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5/
perl init-repository
mkdir qt5-build
cd qt5-build
//configuration command
cmake -G Ninja \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
      -DFEATURE_developer_build=ON \
      -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=ON\
      -DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON\
      -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
      -DQT_BUILD_DOCS=ON \
      -DQT_BUILD_QML_DOC=ON \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Volumes/QtSource/qt-bug \
/Volumes/QtSource/qt5
cmake --build . --parallel  4
