Re: Unable to build MiKTeX

Those are linker errors with Qt, which isn't too surprising as you're using a VS2013 build of Qt 5.5. However, you're doing that because the instructions in README.win are clearly out of date (you could make a pull request for that) - https://miktex.org/howto/build-win would suggest that Christian is using the 5.8.0 beta. See if that gets you past the linker error.
