Hi,
I have investigated your problem and I have found there is some
misunderstanding related to the structure of the
QtWebKit-V8 port.
First of all the QtWebkit-V8 development has been blocked on trunk due
to problems with the QtScript's V8 fork update.
Thus I'm not sure the compiling of the QtWebKit 2.2 with an external V8
backend is possible...

You are using wrong version of Qt. The QtWebKit-V8 needs QtScript with
V8 backend but the Qt-4.7.4 contains a version of
QtScript which uses JSC. Probably you should try Qt-5 with QtScript module:
- Compile the qt-base (https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/qtbase).
- Use the qmake of the new QtBase (check the version: qmake --version
it should be 5.0.0) for compile
the v8 branch of QtScript
(https://gitorious.org/+qt-developers/qt/qtscript).
Anyway, this QtScript repository won't be updated in the forseeable
future but this is the latest version which worked with QtWebkit-V8.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure whether it is a good idea to use an external V8
fork but you can give it a try :)
In fact the QtWebKit-V8 uses the QtScript's own shipped version of V8
(it has some QtScript specific modifications). That is the reason why
the V8_LIB_DIR is set to a QT_INSTALL_PREFIX directory.
Anyway you should create two links from the QtScript's directory into
the QtBase directory to make it possible to build QtWebkit-V8:
- QtScript's src/script directory into the QtBase's src directory
e.g.: ~/qtbase/src/script -> ~/qtscript/src/script
- QtScript's src/3rdparty/v8 directory into the QtBase's src/3rdparty
directory.
e.g.: ~/qtbase/src/3rdparty/v8 -> ~/qtscript/src/3rdparty/v8
Probably you can try to apply the QtScript specific changes to the V8
for MIPS port manually. After that you might be able to use
that version of V8 for compiling both QtScript and QtWebKit.
You can find the QtScript specific modifications on top of this
repository: https://github.com/stampho/qtscript-backend
I hope this information will be helpful :)
Cheers,
Peter
