No, it won't compile. Don't waste your time with a 7-year-old compiler with 
Qt 5.7.

If you think you need to use MSVC 2010, I urge you to revisit your 
assumptions. Then revisit them again, because you're using a 7-year-old 
compiler. If you're willing to upgrade Qt, why not your compiler?

And if at the end of that you still need MSVC 2010, then you'll have to stick 
to Qt 5.6.

No, you won't even get qmake from Qt 5.7 compiled with MSVC 2010. You'll get 
errors in the first .cpp being compiled.
