Try configure —help or edit new configure.json file.

Well 5.8.0 is not compilable with 2017 rc, as qalgorithms.h has some incompatibilities with constexpr. Albeit the changes.log says
5.8.0 has initial support for vs2017, it does not compile, so initial support in the qt world does not necessarily mean it compiles ;-)
but you can get the file from the 5.8 branch , which will become 5.8.1, there it is fixed.
