Compile Qt 5.9 source code in Windows 10 detailed process, detailed steps
Following compilation process is suitable only for Qt 5.9 and subversion, has been tested safe for use (Except for unforeseen circumstances).
From Qt official website or Domestic Mirror Download the source code.
Note: 从 Qt 官网 git 下载的源代码可能无法使用，因为经常修改可能不稳定。
git Get the Source Code --> cmd --> X: --> cd ./Qt --> git clone git://code.qt.io/Qt/qt5.git --> cd ./qt5 --> git checkout 5.9 --> git submodule update --init --recursive
git Update the Source Code --> cmd --> X: --> cd ./Qt/qt5 --> git remote -v --> git fetch origin --> git log -p 5.9 origin/5.9 --> git merge origin/5.9 --> git submodule update
Install Windows SDK 10.0.18362 (编译 qtwebengine 时需要) --> 安装位置 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\ --> 默认安装所有 Features
成功完成后，添加以下一些环境变量：

jom --> jom install 或 nmake --> nmake install
Qt WebEngine 只能在带有 x64 位工具链的 64 位 Windows 中进行构建。
若想构建用于 x86 应用程序的 Qt WebEngine，需要采用 Visual Studio 2015 x64 to x86 交叉编译工具链来配置和编译 Qt。 可通过运行 vcvarsall.bat amd64_x86，在命令行中设置此工具链。

Qt 5.9.1 in the CMD window, configure -? output information.
X:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.1>configure -help
+ cd qtbase
+ X:\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.1\qtbase\configure.bat -top-level -help
Usage: configure [options] [assignments]
Configure understands variable assignments like VAR=value on the command line.
Each uppercased library name (obtainable with -list-libraries) supports the
suffixes _INCDIR, _LIBDIR, _PREFIX (INCDIR=PREFIX/include, LIBDIR=PREFIX/lib),
_LIBS, and - on Windows and Darwin - _LIBS_DEBUG and _LIBS_RELEASE. E.g.,
ICU_PREFIX=/opt/icu42 ICU_LIBS="-licui18n -licuuc -licudata".
It is also possible to manipulate any QMAKE_* variable, to amend the values
from the mkspec for the build of Qt itself, e.g., QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-g3.
Top-level installation directories:
-prefix <dir> ...... The deployment directory, as seen on the target device.
[/usr/local/Qt-$QT_VERSION, $PWD if -developer-build]
-extprefix <dir> ... The installation directory, as seen on the host machine.
[SYSROOT/PREFIX]
-hostprefix [dir] .. The installation directory for build tools running on
the host machine. If [dir] is not given, the current
build directory will be used. [EXTPREFIX]
-external-hostbindir <path> ... Path to Qt tools built for this machine.
Use this when -platform does not match the current
system, i.e., to make a Canadian Cross Build.
Fine tuning of installation directory layout. Note that all directories
except -sysconfdir should be located under -prefix/-hostprefix:
-bindir <dir> ......... Executables [PREFIX/bin]
-headerdir <dir> ...... Header files [PREFIX/include]
-libdir <dir> ......... Libraries [PREFIX/lib]
-archdatadir <dir> .... Arch-dependent data [PREFIX]
-plugindir <dir> ...... Plugins [ARCHDATADIR/plugins]
-libexecdir <dir> ..... Helper programs [ARCHDATADIR/bin on Windows,
ARCHDATADIR/libexec otherwise]
-importdir <dir> ...... QML1 imports [ARCHDATADIR/imports]
-qmldir <dir> ......... QML2 imports [ARCHDATADIR/qml]
-datadir <dir> ........ Arch-independent data [PREFIX]
-docdir <dir> ......... Documentation [DATADIR/doc]
-translationdir <dir> . Translations [DATADIR/translations]
-sysconfdir <dir> ..... Settings used by Qt programs [PREFIX/etc/xdg]
-examplesdir <dir> .... Examples [PREFIX/examples]
-testsdir <dir> ....... Tests [PREFIX/tests]
-hostbindir <dir> ..... Host executables [HOSTPREFIX/bin]
-hostlibdir <dir> ..... Host libraries [HOSTPREFIX/lib]
-hostdatadir <dir> .... Data used by qmake [HOSTPREFIX]
Conventions for the remaining options: When an option's description is
followed by a list of values in brackets, the interpretation is as follows:
'yes' represents the bare option; all other values are possible prefixes to
the option, e.g., -no-gui. Alternatively, the value can be assigned, e.g.,
--gui=yes. Values are listed in the order they are tried if not specified;
'auto' is a shorthand for 'yes/no'. Solitary 'yes' and 'no' represent binary
options without auto-detection.
Configure meta:
-help, -h ............ Display this help screen
-verbose, -v ......... Print verbose messages during configuration
-continue ............ Continue configure despite errors
-redo ................ Re-configure with previously used options.
Additional options may be passed, but will not be

Use this after installing missing dependencies.
-recheck-all ......... Discard all cached configure test results.
-feature-<feature> ... Enable <feature>
