Hello everyone.
I tried to compile Qt 5.7.0 from source (link) with MSVS 2015 in both x86 and x64, but the process failed during the compilation of qtwebengine module.
Errors were the following:[12804/12810] CXX obj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.web_engine_settings.obj FAILED: ninja -t msvc -e environment.x64 -- cl.exe /nologo /showIncludes /FC @obj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.web_engine_settings.obj.rsp /c %path_to_qt%\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\qtwebengine\src\core\web_engine_settings.cpp /Foobj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.web_engine_settings.obj /Fdobj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.cc.pdb %path_to_qt%\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\qtwebengine\src\core\web_engine_settings.cpp(350): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'web_engine_settings.moc': No such file or directory [12804/12810] CXX obj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.location_provider_qt.obj FAILED: ninja -t msvc -e environment.x64 -- cl.exe /nologo /showIncludes /FC @obj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.location_provider_qt.obj.rsp /c %path_to_qt%\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\qtwebengine\src\core\location_provider_qt.cpp /Foobj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.location_provider_qt.obj /Fdobj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.cc.pdb %path_to_qt%\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\qtwebengine\src\core\location_provider_qt.cpp(276): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'location_provider_qt.moc': No such file or directory [12804/12810] CXX obj\src\core\QtWebEngineCore.web_contents_adapter.obj ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Thanks in advance.

Found the problem. It looks like during the initial stage of nmake, it was spitting out some errors complaining that the command line is too long. I found this ticket and patched those 3 files into my directory and it fixed the problem: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/160622/
Later down the line I experienced another compile issue (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54455) and patching this file fixed it: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/163955/
