Building Qt5 with OpenSSL support using VS 2015

Taytoo

Fixed my compilation issue and also Found a Bug in Qt.

Repro: In Visual Studio. Go to Qt VS Tools -> Qt Project Settings -> Qt Modules (Tab) and make changes. This will add

\
$(INHERIT)\

into the project's Linker -> Additional Dependencies. Removing the slashes solved the problem. No wonder I couldn't figure out what the object file was when I was getting ".obj" error during compilation.

When I run nmake distclean in sources folder, its keeps running for a while and eventually ends with this error. I built Qt with "nomake examples" flag, is that the reason? Do I need to unzip fresh sources again or can I just ignore this and continue by calling configure and jom?

No, examples are just normal projects. You can open them in Qt Creator and build them from there.
