I tried to compile Qt+Webkit statically with MS VS 2008 and the following worked.

C:\Qt\4.6.2 configure -release -static -opensource -fast -no-exceptions -no-accessibility -no-rtti -no-stl -no-opengl -no-openvg -no-incredibuild-xge -no-style-plastique -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-style-windowsce -no-style-windowsmobile -no-style-s60 -no-gif -no-libpng -no-libtiff -no-libjpeg -no-libmng -no-qt3support -no-mmx -no-3dnow -no-sse -no-sse2 -no-openssl -no-dbus -platform win32-msvc2008 -arch windows -no-phonon -no-phonon-backend -no-multimedia -no-audio-backend -no-script -no-scripttools -webkit -no-declarative

However, I get these errors whenever building a project that links statically to QtWebKit:

Do I need to check something in the Qt project options ?
I have QtCore, QtGui, Network and WebKit checked.
What do you think guys ?:confused:

Let's have a look to the symbols that the linker is not able to find:

VerQueryValue
GetFileVersionInfoW
GetFileVersionInfoSizeW
and so on...

All these functions are defined in shlwapi.h, so try to link against shlwapi.lib you can add it from the linker property page, or by adding the line below to any of your source files:

#pragma comment(lib, "shlwapi.lib")

I think that this will fix your problem!
