   Describe the issue

   After the qt 5.7.1 update i haven't been able to build gui for windows. Im using ubuntu 14.04 vm and I had no issues building qt 5.6.1.

   Can you reliably reproduce the issue? yes

   If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:

   1. I follow the windows build notes.

   checking for main in -lQt5Core   ... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5Gui    ... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5Network... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5Widgets... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5Test... yes
   checking QTest usability... yes
   checking QTest presence... yes
   checking for QTest... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5DBus... yes
   checking QtDBus usability... yes
   checking QtDBus presence... yes
   checking for QtDBus... yes
   checking for static Qt... yes
   checking for Qt >= 5.6... yes
   checking for main in -lQt5PlatformSupport... yes
   checking for Qt < 5.4... no
   checking for static Qt plugins: -lqwindows... no
   configure: WARNING: Could not resolve: -lqwindows; bitcoin-qt frontend will not be built
   checking whether to build Bitcoin Core GUI... no (Qt5)
   

   Is there some extra package you now have to install? I have installed these: libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

   Are you using our depends? If so, there's no need to install any of the qt tools/libs, they're all built internally.

   Can you please (via pastebin.com or so) paste your config.log?

   This seems to affect gitian, so I assigned it 0.14 and medium priority.

   Thanks, reproduced. Working on a fix.

   Still working on this off-and-on. There are a few separate issues, some harder to solve than others. I think I may go ahead and PR a few fixes that get us closer to building, even if it doesn't get us all the way there yet.

    Good to hear. In case this turns out to be too tricky to get right for 0.14, we can always revert the bump, which buys us some time to fix it in 0.15.

    One thing I don't understand here: Why did the bump pass travis, if it breaks the windows build? As far as I know travis uses the depend system to build Qt in the same way as gitian does.

    @laanwj It should, but qt is disabled for most entries in the travis matrix right now.
