I played a bit with Qt5.6RC and the latest MSVC 2015. I can compile
current master without errors but finally I still get this linking error:

OK, it seems we have a fundamental question here:
The problem is the line 162 of os_win32.cpp
wgetmainargs
If I uncomment it and also line 65/66 I can successfully compile LyX
with Qt 5.6 and MSVC 2015.
The problem doesn't seem to be the wgetmainargs function because
according to MS this had not been changed since MSVC 2010:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us//library/ff770599.aspx
and with MSVC 2010 everything is fine.
I understand the long note at line 102 that LyX as a console-based
application is a hack because a genuine GUI-based app would be something
else. I am no expert here but wgetmainargs is only used to get data from
the console. This seems to be different since a while. One could fix
that and I guess peter knows how, Peter?, but why don't we switch and
make LyX a GUI application o Windows as described in the long comment. I
mean LyX IS already GUI based so what would be the advantage of the console?
thanks and regards
