[Interest] How to run a WinRT app on a Window 8 intel tablet?

[Nuno Santos]

I have installed the Window 8.1 SDK, restarted the computer and decided 
to build the release version only. Now it's failing like this.

         cd wbmp\ && ( if not exist Makefile 
C:\Qt\5.4\Src\qtbase\bin\qmake 
C:\Qt\5.4\Src\qtimageformats\src\plugins\imageformats\wbmp\wbmp.pro -o Make
file ) && C:\Qt\5.4\jom.exe -f Makefile
         C:\Qt\5.4\jom.exe -f Makefile.Release
         cd imageformats\ && ( if not exist Makefile 
C:\Qt\5.4\Src\qtbase\bin\qmake 
C:\Qt\5.4\Src\qtimageformats\src\imageformats\imageformats.pro -o M
akefile ) && C:\Qt\5.4\jom.exe -f Makefile
         C:\Qt\5.4\jom.exe -f Makefile.Release
Error: dependent 
'..\..\include\QtXmlPatterns\5.4.1\QtXmlPatterns\private\qacceltree_p.h' 
does not exist.
jom: C:\Qt\5.4\Src\qtxmlpatterns\src\xmlpatterns\Makefile [release] Error 2

jom: C:\Qt\5.4\Src\Makefile [module-qtxmlpatterns-make_first] Error 2

C:\Qt\5.4\Src>

It's not easy to build WinRT from source.

Nuno
