Hi, Following the instructions here I wanted to install the qtwebdriver but failed.

Hello,

To build on Win10, I ended up generating src/webdriver/webdriver_version.cc by hand:

namespace webdriver {
extern const char kProductName[] = "WebDriver-cisco-cmt";
extern const char kVersionNumber[] = "1.3.3";
extern const char kBuildTime[] = __TIME__;
extern const char kBuildDate[] = __DATE__;
extern const char kLastChanges[] = "whatever";
}

Then I removed python generate_wdversion.py in build.bat

After that you also need to remove some lines in src/third_party/mongoose/mongoose.c

struct timespec {
  long tv_nsec;
  long tv_sec;
};

Finally, I needed to add macro definition in generated chromium_base.vcxproj & WebDriver_core.vcxproj

<PreprocessorDefinitions>_SILENCE_STDEXT_HASH_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS;......

For the moment, I only succeeded to compile on vs2019, i'll ry to use it now :)

Hope it helps, Vincent
