I assume you are referring to the following link error

Building qt_example with Qt5 should "just work" on Windows like it
currently does for me on Linux.  Therefore, if moving to an "official"
Qt5 build does not fix this for you, then there is more work for us to
do to jointly debug this.

I am hoping by early December, but I don't really know at this stage.
There is still a lot of open-ended stuff I want to do such as finish
off my large documentation update and other more minor topics.  And I
am hoping for development efforts from others as well (such as Arjen
finishing his work so that Tcl gets completely converted to the
redacted argument model).

We make quite an effort to keep git master branch in good shape so we
encourage users to try it as part of on-going testing (just like you
are doing now).  Once we go into freeze prior to the release where
only documentation changes are allowed for the master branch, then the
master branch will be equivalent to a release candidate.  I doubt I
will make an official release candidate at that stage, but I will
certainly publish an appeal for intense user testing then (typically
in the last week before the actual release).  But your on-going testing
of git master branch now is extremely useful as well.
