Hello,
Normally --qmakearg has no "s" at the end and that you have to add "="
between --qmakearg and its value.
I corrected the doc on the wiki.
The results should end up by default in WebKitBuild/Release, and
WebKit.sln should be there.
If you still have difficulties, here is part of a batch file I use to
generate VS files outside the source tree. The result will end in the
current directory. You might have to tweak it but this should give you
an idea:
qmake -r <RelativePathToWebKitSources>\DerivedSources.pro -o
Makefile.DerivedSources
nmake -f Makefile.DerivedSources generated_files
qmake -r -tp vc <RelativePathToWebKitSources>\WebKit.pro
Please note as well that dependencies between projects in the solution
aren't always generated correctly from the qmake files. You might have
to right-click and build the QtWebKit project first in the solution and
then building the whole solution should work.

Hi,
I am able to build QtWebKit successfully using the instructions
provided here - http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows .
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
I am currently building through the scripts but would like to generate
a visual studio solution. I tried the instructions from the link
mentioned above (pasted below) but did not succeed. Worst, I ended up
corrupting something in the WebKit source copy on my machine and I
could no longer build(running in some strange errors). The workaround
for me was to download the WebKit code to a new location on my hard
drive and build from there.
Instructions -
>>If you want to generate MSVC project files (e.g. so that you can
debug/work from within MSVC) you can do it with the following steps
1. Run perl WebKitTools\Scripts\build-webkit --qt and cancel the
script after the derived sources are all generated
2. Run perl WebKitTools\Scripts\build-webkit --qt --qmakeargs "-tp
vc". This will generate MSVC project files and than it will fail
3. Open WebKit.sln from MSVC and build from MSVC. Build should
succeed and you should be able to debug and work from within MSVC.

I did 1. The step 2 did not do anything I believe because it failed to
recognize “–qmakeargs” option. There is also no indication of where I
should look for WebKit.sln. The output directory seems the obvious
place but I did not find it. So seems like something did not go right
in step 1 or 2.
Is there an easier way to achieve this?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
