   When building the Android dependencies and SOURCES_PATH is set to a non-default location (i.e. not in the depends directory), doing make apk results in the following error:

    0find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
    1find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
    2tar: --exclude=*/*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    3tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    4find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
    5find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
    6tar: --exclude=*/*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
    7tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    8find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
    9find: ‘../depends/sources/’: No such file or directory
   10tar: --exclude=*/*: Cannot open: No such file or directory
   11tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
   

   It seems like the culprit is https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/a3791da0e80ab35e862989373f033e5be4dff26b/src/Makefile.qt.include#L385-L387 which is looking for files in the default depends sources path.

   Seems like depends should define QT_BASE_PATH in config.site instead?

   @achow101 @dongcarl

   Do you mind testing a fix in #22555?

   This can be closed as builds for Android are not possible in the master branch.
