Okay, I've polished the whole build process now. The updated 
instructions are on the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/viennacl/viennacl-benchmark-gui

I recommend that you start with a fresh clone, because libarchive and 
zlib are no longer git submodules, but need to be cloned separately. 
This is due to the issue that the latest libarchive release builds on 
Windows, but on Linux, while the latest tip of master builds with Linux, 
but not on Windows...

The process of cloning libarchive and zlib into external/ is a bit 
arcane, but turned out to be the most productive, reliable, and portable 
solution I could come up with.

Now everything is linked statically to avoid these problems. It is only 
the Qt libraries for which you need provide the path in the %PATH%.

If there are any additional troubles, please let me know.

@Namik: Since zlib and libarchive are built externally, it should be 
possible to support this with QMake by pointing to the respective 
relative folders in external. Also, please be careful with compiler 
flags in CMakeLists.txt, use "if(MINGW)" or similar to not break 
compilation on other compilers than your own.

Best regards,
Karli
