Qt Tutorial => Build on Windows

Example

Requirements

Windows 10, please set your system locale to English, otherwise there may be errors
Visual Studio 2013 or 2015
QtWebEngine 5.7 source code (could be downloaded from here)
Qt 5.7 install version, install it and add qmake.exe folder to system path
Python 2, add python.exe folder to system path
Git, add git.exe folder to system path
gperf, add gperf.exe folder to system path
flex-bison, add win_bison.exe folder to system path, and rename it to bison.exe

Note: I didn't test for Visual Studio versions, all Qt versions.. Let's just take an example here, other versions should be about the same.

Steps to build

Decompress source code to a folder, let's call it ROOT
Open Developer Command Prompt for VS2013, and go to ROOT folder
Run qmake WEBENGINE_CONFIG+=use_proprietary_codecs qtwebengine.pro. We add this flag to enable mp3 support.
Run nmake

Note: Mp3 is not supported by QtWebEngine by default, due to license issue. Please make sure to get a license for the codec you added.
