Takes much less (about one minute)

2GBytes because default configure is -debug, but giving -release instead the needed space is much less because debug symbols are not built.

Also use:

nmake sub-src

30minutes on my Core Duo 1.5Ghz. It just compiles the Qt libraries under src directory, not Qt tools like designer, assistant and expecially the Qt examples.

Note: first you need to run nmake to build makefile then, just after
the makefile in main directory is built (few seconds) you can stop it
and run nmake sub-src.

msysgit must be in PATH, both Git\cmd and Git\bin. Or you can use the launch script start_qgit.bat that just adds msysgit to the PATH for you before to call qgit.exe

Thanks Peter,

Just a question. How about using the auto-extract zip I advertise in this thread? With this both Qt and qgit are already compiled and should be ready to go.
