Okular building help request

Tue Mar 1 09:54:46 UTC 2016

Thanks again Hannah,

I do seem to be getting somewhere but have once again hit a bit of a 
wall. Among other things I turned up the short path drive substitution 
stuff just to be sure that the problem wasn't there. But now I get a 
repeated error:

> Q:\qtwebkit\Source\WTF/wtf/Platform.h:703:36: fatal error: WTF/WTFHeaderDetection.h: No such file or directory
> compilation terminated.

And indeed the file WTFHeaderDetection.h seems to be totally missing. 
But it is also missing from Thomas Friedrichsmeier's pre-built 
environment, which seems to work.

Prior to that I get a series of errors that look a bit like this:

> Q:/qtwebkit/WebKit.pro:21: 'use?' is not a recognized test function.

It's unclear to me whether the two errors are related or not. But either 
way I am stuck and once again appealing for help.

The most recent full log file is here: 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/88mlp3bm6wkcx9m/emerge.qt.log

Cheers,
Jonathan
