I have followed the directions at https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit for installation on Windows 7. I have uninstalled Qt and reinstalled and tried to do this many times, and I can't get it to work.
I added to qmake.conf the line
QMAKE_LFLAGS = -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++
The other line in the directions for QMAKE_RCC was already there.
When I do this command in the directions...
C:\development\Ruby193\capybara-webkit>bundle exec rake build
I get errors - starting with:
