Hi, Got around to try it. Worked really well. Thanks. May be these instructions should replace the one on the Wiki as they are more clear/not error prone.
Other than that, I noticed following which may be related to outdated instructions. 1) The instructions reference QtLauncher but I only saw QtTestBrowser. May be QtLauncher does not exist anymore. 2) The Qt installation directory structure(downloaded from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads) is different depending upon whether you are downloading the full QT SDK or Qt libraries. I found (and noticed some other postings) that the build instructions work correctly if I installed Qt libraries. It is possible that different people have different experience here. Thanks again for your help. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jocelyn Turcotte Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 1:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [webkit-qt] QtWebKit visual studio solution 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.
