   The blog post on QtWebkit on windows fails to explain how to achieve those results, and points to the wiki which also contains incomplete or incorrect instructions.

   I got it to partially compile only, using the provided instructions. Now I hit a pthread wall (failed includes). The pthread is not in the wiki list of required packages. I have no idea if it was supposed to use pthreads at all, or if it is compiling the wrong cpp file. It is quite silly to use pthread since Qt has native threads.

   Any words of advice? Thanks.

   Last week I had some spare time and got the webkit and the extra tools (bizon, ...) like it was explained on the wiki.
   The compiler I used was VC++ 8.0 (VS2005), and the web kit compiled almost out of the box. I only had to modify about 5 lines of code, and it works like a charm.

   I redid the exercise to build webkit from scratch under windows on a fresh installed windows XP.
   I installed visual studio 2005, QT 4.3.1 (commercial edition) and the tools from the gnuwin32 project as mentioned on the wiki.
   Next step was execute

   perl WebKitToolsScriptsbuild-webkit

   from the webkit directory.
   First problem I encountered was:

   ../../../WebCore/loader/FTPDirectoryDocument.cpp(233) : error C3861: 'localtime_r': identifier not found.

   I modified the line into the following lines:

   #if PLATFORM(WIN_OS)
       localtime_s(&now, &now_t);
   #else
       localtime_r(&now_t, &now);
   #endif

   Next compilation error was:

   ../../../WebCore/loader/FTPDirectoryParser.cpp(138) : error C3861: 'gmtime_r': identifier not found

   Same error occurs on lines 1108 and 1548.
   Modify these lines into:

   #if PLATFORM(WIN_OS)
                   gmtime_s(&result.modifiedTime, &t);
   #else
                   gmtime_r(&t, &result.modifiedTime);
   #endif

   The last error I encounter was:

   ../../../JavaScriptCore/wtf/MathExtras.h(117) : error C3861: 'rand_s': identifier not found

   While rand_s is defined in stdlib.h I still had problems compiling it, so I commented out from line 106 till 122 and modified line 123 into

   #endif

   (ofcourse remove line 137). In this way you are not using the rand_s function but srand and rand functions.
   After this it is waiting until the compilation ends and then you can start the QtLauncher without any problem.

   There's a better way to fix the error you were getting with the missing rand_s definition, namely, by #defining the _CRT_RAND_S macro before compiling, as documented in this MSDN article.
