Prerequisites

• Download and extract Qt 5.6.2 from https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/single/.
• Windows: edit [Qt]/qtbase/mkspecs/common/msvc-desktop.conf by replacing:

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MD
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MD -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MDd

with:

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MT
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO += -O2 -MT -Zi
QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG      = -Zi -MTd

• Linux: make sure that FontConfig is installed (libfontconfig1-dev package on Ubuntu).
• macOS: apply the patch at https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtconnectivity.git/commit/?h=5.7.1&id=462323dba4f963844e8c9911da27a0d21e4abf43.
• Note: the above is enough for me, but this might be because my Windows, Linux and macOS machines are already set up to build QtWebKit.
