ever used webkit// webkitwidgets? Trying to include a secure browser in the QT but it keeps saying the file doesn't exist

Webkit is only supported on qt shared builds afaik. To compile shared qt libraries including webkit you can do as follows:
Install perl, pyhton and ruby (make sure they are in path)
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
https://www.python.org/downloads
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

(msys) compile icu: http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/54.1/icu4c-54_1-src.zip

Code:

cd /c/deps/icu/source/
./runConfigureICU MinGW --prefix=$PWD/../dist --enable-shared --disable-static
make && make install

(msys) compile both static and shared openssl: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz

Code:

cd /c/deps/
tar xvfz openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1j
Configure shared no-dso mingw
make

(cmd) compile qt: http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2.7z

Code:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\deps\icu\dist\lib
set INCLUDE=C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1j\include;C:\deps\icu\dist\include
set LIB=C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1j;C:\deps\icu\dist\lib

configure.bat -release -opensource -confirm-license -shared -make libs -make tools -no-opengl -system-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -icu -no-freetype -no-angle -no-vcproj -openssl -no-dbus

mingw32-make

As an alternative I think you can install the prebuilt qt package (http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.2.exe) and compile everything else with the included mingw-builds toolchain.

strip src/bitcoin-cli.exe
strip src/bitcoind.exe
strip src/qt/bitcoin-qt.exe

i can get all except bitcoin-qt.exe (the error is something like no file found)

Why please?

You should have a look at configure output to see why bitcoin-qt is not being built

@nitro. Need an help.
Have compiled all as stated here for qtwebkits(icu-opensll and qt)

-Added to path:
C:\Python34;C:\Ruby21\bin;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;

-From CMD:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.3.2\qtbase\bin\qmake with "normal" 5.3.2 i write only set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.3.2\bin, now i have to add \qtbase\bin\qmake to find .qmake.

-When i launch qmake,it will stop saying:
file ICUIN54.dll was not found on computer. (so,there something missing with icu i suppose)

That's sound strange cause i have already compiled via shell icu. Is something i miss? need to add to path something regarding icu files?

Thanks in advance.
