Looks like something mangled your copy/paste.

This error must be coming from here:

  3205	dnl Copy pre-built man pages and help files, for tarball out-of-tree builds.
  3206	for manpage in `cd ${srcdir} && echo Doc/*.1`; do
  3207	  if test x"$manpage" != x"Doc/*.1" && ! test -e "${manpage}"; then
  3208	    cp ${srcdir}/${manpage} ./Doc/
  3209	  fi
  3210	done
  3211	if ! test -e Doc/help.txt; then
  3212	  cp ${srcdir}/Doc/help.txt ./Doc/
  3213	fi
  3214	mkdir -p ./Doc/help
  3215	for helpfile in `cd ${srcdir} && echo Doc/help/*`; do
  3216	  if test x"$helpfile" != x"Doc/help/*" && ! test -e "${helpfile}"; then
  3217	    cp ${srcdir}/${helpfile} ./Doc/help/
  3218	  fi
  3219	done

I guess ./Doc/ doesn't exist for some reason, then?  Were you building
in a clean tree?

That doesn't explain the main.pro error, but there isn't much point in
debugging «make» issues until «configure» succeeds.

Cheers,

Daniel
