           Summary: [Qt][Win] WebKit2 symbols are not exported in
                    QtWebKit5.dll
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

In the WebKit2 static library we Q_DECL_EXPORT a bunch of classes/functions, but when linking QtWebKit5.dll those symbols are not exported when compiling with MSVC. This is how the MSVC toolchain behaves.

The suggested workaround is to run a little script over the static libraries we create to extract all the symbols that are marked for export and make sure that they are actually exported (and not discarded!) in the final dll.
