I can assure you I've spent quite a bit of time attempting to debug and build. Again I'm following the instructions on http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows as instructed by other responders to my post.
There is a specific error that occurs prior to the build aborting. The problem involves rcc.exe. For example, I get an error like: c:\Projects\qt-win-opensource-src-4.4.1=bin\rcc.exe: File does not exist '..\..\..\WebCore\page\inspector\WebKit.qrc' Note that the file does indeed exist in the correct path. I have search on the internet for this type of error and have found posts on a couple forums where people (like me) attempting to build under Windows have seen this problem. Unfortunately, those posts are never answered. Again, the reason I am trying to build the source is as part of some research I am doing to see if WebKit is something we can use in the development of a thin client for a new product we are developing. I should also add that the build generates other errors later on in the file ..\..\..\JavaScriptCore\wft\Assertions.h. It complains of unexpected characters in certain macros formal parameter list. I apologize if I appear to be beating a dead horse, but I was hoping if I could at least build this stuff, I could begin digging into learning how it works.

Well, you got the error message. At the risk of pointing the obvious, I would say just trace the error message to find out where it fails. > perl > C:/cygwin/home/Administrator/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/pcre/dftables > tmp\chartables.c --preprocessor="cl /E" > Error in tempfile() using \tmp\dftables-XXXXXXXX.in: Parent directory > (\tmp\) is not a directory at Something is wrong with your Perl. What if you create the directory C:\tmp manually first? A side note: if you just want to give QtWebKit a try, why don't you use Qt 4.4? It has WebKit integration already (no need to build it if you use binary package).
