[webkit-dev] Building Win32/Release WebKit: linker error LNK1106

[Marc-Antoine Ruel]

You didn't say on what flavor. I assume you are doing a release build.
If so, you probably need a x64 OS to link the static library.

You may want to install a few hotpatches from Microsoft,
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows
lists a fews in addition to the ones listed at
http://webkit.org/building/tools.html. This is especially necessary
with the SDK 7 + VS2005 configuration.

Also, you may be interested in the workaround listed at
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=521439

In short; use /expectedoutputsize:120000000
