Hi

Operating System - Windows 8.1

I am trying to build Qt from the source. After extracting the files from Archive, I went through ReadMe File. As per ReadMe file, I have to open Windows SDK command Prompt.

Windows SDK for Windows 8.1 doesn't have any command line built environment. It is clearly stated in link mentioned.

Can you tell how should I proceed to build Qt from Source ???

Hi,

What compiler do you want to use ?

I just installed visual studio 2013. I think this might be the alternative for me.

What you suggest??

Now you have the developer consoles available through Visual Studio's entries. You can use them to start your build.
