Hi Jonathan, not sure whether this suits your needs, but I'm also a bit curious, whether my "shortcut" to a KF5 environment on Windows actually works for people: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-windows/2016-February/009586.html It's MinGW, only, ATM. I spend most of the past two days trying to get an MSVC (2013) version ready, too, but I'm not quite there, yet.
*If* this actually works, I think it would be a great-thing-to-have (TM) for us application developers trying to get a foothold on Windows.
