Description Kent Hansen 2010-06-22 03:07:06 PDT
When Qt (4.7) is built statically (configured with -static -release), applications that use the QtWebKit module fail to link.

It's looking for "../JavaScriptCore/release\jscore.lib".
There is a jscore.lib, but it's in src/3rdparty/webkit/JavaScriptCore/Release.

Can be worked around by copying jscore.lib from src/3rdparty/webkit/JavaScriptCore/Release to ../JavaScriptCore/release relative to where the app is built (so the linker will find it).

Unfortunately with Qt 4.7 we decided to remove support for static linking of QtWebKit. Change 4221d629e2cf37ee8c5ba7cb595b05ab8c82f113 in Qt 4.7 will disable the build of WebKit if Qt is configured for static linking.
