I have been trying to build Texmaker from 5 from the source tarball on http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html
I have installed a fresh QT 5.9, and a fresh MSVC 2015 Community edition.
When I try the build, it gets all the way through to the link stage, and dies with some missing symbols. In particular the symbols from the windows pdf device appear to be missing - it's as if the .pro file only copes with linux/mac builds.
Has anyone managed to make this work?
Mails to the author have gone unanswered.
I have some changes (additional folding options, such as "Fold all sections" etc) that I would like to test and pass back to the mainstream.
Thanks in advance for any help.
The exact section of the build log with the errors in, is:
