Qt 5.9.2 WebEngine build fails with Visual Studio 2017
-
I downloaded the Qt 5.9.2 sources and started building (Windows 8.1, Visual Studio 2017, 64-bit) and discovered that the build fails.
Qt was configured with the following options:-opensource -debug-and-release -opengl desktop -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license -skip qtdoc -qtnamespace %QT_NAMESPACE%with %QT_NAMESPACE% a script generated namespace of the form ABC_5_9_2
First thing I had to do was add this patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/208660/
After a long wait I was then greeted with this link error:
