  3. Extract the Qt 5.2.0 source:

    • Windows:

      Use Winzip or another .zip file extraction utility to unpack the source archive to the location where you want to extract and patch the source, such as C:\Users\user\Documents (where user is your username).

    • Linux:

      Unpack the source archive using tar in a terminal window:
