Follow the instructions in file called INSTALL. Same instructions are also available online. You should start with running "configure" instead of "qmake".

Edit: Oh, and by the way, there are binary installer packages provided for Windows too. Check out qt-win-opensource-4.3.0-mingw.exe if you want to avoid all the hassle with building Qt yourself.
