The Secret is simple :)
I used VS2008 to build the project and it ran like magic :D

Concerning the other approaches that are available on long term: (if anyone interested :) )

It's too hard to be built on Qt-creator using mingw (even if we use qt4.8 kit) as Sankoré depends on external libraries that are very hard (and maybe impossible!) to be built using mingw..
Also on VS2015 it's also too hard as it uses modules that have been removed from Qt5.6 or 5.7 like phonon, QtWebkit, QFtp, ...etc

So,any of these 2 methods needs a "hard & deep Porting operation" to be able to build and run Sankoré on it using Qt5..

Thanks for sharing! All the best with your project
