title: Stuck compiling open source project that uses Qt. qmake never ends. Is it possible to download compiled files?
body: <p>I am triying to compile on Windows this project: <a href="https://github.com/scantailor/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/scantailor/</a></p>
  
  <p>There is a detailed guide (<a href="https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/blob/master/packaging/windows/readme.en.txt" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/blob/master/packaging/windows/readme.en.txt</a>) but one process takes too time to finish. I am on point 7 (building scantailor dependencies).</p>
  
  <p>The command is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\...\Qt\4.8.6\bin\qmake C:/.../Qt/4.8.6/\projects.pro  -o Makefile -spec win32-msvc2008
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think that this creates the compiled libraries of Qt, but the problem is that this command took more than 6 hour without finish.</p>
  
  <p>Is another way to obtain the compiled files? </p>
  
  <p>I am using Windows 8.1 and Qt 4.8.6</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Stuck here (msv2008):</p>
