Thiago, thanks /so much/ for this clarity. Absolutely. We will be
upgrading to VS 2015 soon after our upcoming major release. (Using VS
2010 at this point is, decidedly, nuts). (So was taking until now to
finish our upgrade from Qt 4.8 to Qt 5-anything).
I had noticed a note in Qt 5.7 indicating that VS 2012 or later is
required. But no such note appeared with Qt 5.6.2. (That's building as
we speak). It's encouraging to hear that you believe that 5.6.2 should
work (with VS 2010 SP1). (I think I'm understanding that correctly).

Thiago, thanks for this response. (And Giuseppe and Konstantin too).
I realize that it might be hard to be 100% confident in this, but DO YOU
THINK that ...
... IF WE LEAVE OUT _QWebEngine_ from the Qt 5.7.0 (or Qt 5.6.2) source
code build, we could build that with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on Windows
8.1 ... AND use that with the Qt 5.5.1 QtWebKit we've already built?
(using that same VS version, of course).
No, it won't compile. Don't waste your time with a 7-year-old compiler with
Qt 5.7.
If you think you need to use MSVC 2010, I urge you to revisit your
assumptions. Then revisit them again, because you're using a 7-year-old
compiler. If you're willing to upgrade Qt, why not your compiler?
And if at the end of that you still need MSVC 2010, then you'll have to stick
to Qt 5.6.
(The crux of that question being ... _with_ Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on
Windows 8.1. I'm imagining that the broad QWebEngine build is the thing
that might require VS 2015, and maybe we could get away with VS 2010
without that).
No, you won't even get qmake from Qt 5.7 compiled with MSVC 2010. You'll get
errors in the first .cpp being compiled.
