Windows 10 and MSVC 2015 RTM: Known Workaround?

Good Morning Ladys and Gents.

I have the Problem, that the WebEngine does not get build under Windows 10 and MSVC 2015 (x86 and x64).
A simple Bug Report has been created.

I have tried to found an Entry in $File, to make it work with MSVC 2015. No Luck yet. [I have looked for something like 'MSC_VER >=1900' or similar.]

Should anyone know If I can make it compatible somehow and especially what I must Edit: Any Solution is welcome :)

Qt Version: 5.5.0 from Source and from Git. All Modules (those available on the Win Platform obviously) with all Examples except the WebEngine are build correctly.

Thanks!
Have a great weeked.

Hi,

AFAIK, it will depends partly on when WebEngine itself starts to build with VS2015

Hello.

Yesterday I have tried the following and failed:

I have changed the Part from Line 1 in File '..\qtwebengine\tools\qmake\mkspecs\features\functions.prf'
from:

!win32-msvc2013: !contains(QT_CONFIG, c++11) {

To:

!win32-msvc2015: !contains(QT_CONFIG, c++11) {

And in Line 17 from:

linux-g++*|win32-msvc2013|macx-clang: return(true)

To:

linux-g++*|win32-msvc2013|win32-msvc2015|macx-clang: return(true)

As I am absolutely new to QtWebEngine, I am not sure If this is enough. But after I found an Entry at code.qt.io from Michael Brüning called "Print a more descriptive warning when a build is skipped.", I thought I would give it a try.

The Result is the following Error:

Using extra options found in c:\qt5src\qtwebengine\src\core\qtwebengine_extras.gypi
Traceback (most recent call last):

['Python32' is Python 32-bit but it contains the latest Python 2.7 Package. Bad old naming leftover.]
I dont know enough about QtWebEngine and nearly nothing about Python. I have to wait for a fix from someone who knows what (s)he's doing. My Bug Report has set to P2 - so with any luck, this will be fixed in 5.5.1

Until then I have to work with a pre-built MSVC 2013 Package. My Tool is far from ready to be released. So I still have time to wait for a fix for WebEngine and and a fix for ICU as well.

Have a sunny weekend everyone :)
Thanks
