[webkit-qt] How can I get my application to use an alternative libqtwebkit (harmattan)?

[Coda Highland]

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably taking a back seat to the rpath set in your binary.

I would recommend taking QT+=webkit out of your .pro file and manually
adding the include paths and linker flags, so that you can specify the
rpath linker flag explicitly to a different path.
