The The above step configures and sets up your directory to start an appropriate build for hybrid or media client.

Note: The qt3d repo has changed and this causes older builds (10/24 and earlier) to fail while fetching qt. A fix can be applied by changing the repo in the qt3d recipe.

Before you build, you need to edit the file /meta-qt5/recipes-qt/qt5/qt3d_git.bb and set the QT_MODULE_BRANCH to "dev" instead of "master" as outlined below:
