I followed the guidelines here, and it seems make isn't shipped by Qt so it needs to be gotten from GnuWin32 too. Also, more build troubleshooting.

  * If you haven't set up your PATH already to include the GnuWin32 packages then you may want to execute the following command: {{{set PATH=C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Perl\bin;%PATH%}}} Provided that the GnuWin32 packages are installed in {{{C:\GnuWin32\bin}}} and Perl in {{{C:\Perl\bin}}}.
  * If you get build errors in JavaScriptCore\bindings\NP_jsobject.cpp or similar then please make sure that the Microsoft Platform SDK is '''NOT''' in your %INCLUDE% path because it conflicts with your MingW headers.
+ * If you get build errors after makefile generation ("Makefile:178: *** Multiple target patterns.  Stop.") then you're probably still using the Cygwin version of make. Try removing Cygwin from your %PATH% for the time being (it's not currently supported, as mentioned above).
+ * I had troubles with m4 when the GnuWin32 packages were installed in C:\Program Files\GnuWin32 (something choked on the whitespace), it worked when installing them into C:\GnuWin32 instead.
 
 * When I try to build using Qt 4.4.3 on windows, the above procedure throws error. all the build (perl) scripts are using unix style dir-paths. Example buildQMakeProject perl method in webkitdirs.pm uses unix style dir-path and also reading pro file. I am amazing that the people could build Qt port of Webkit on Windows.
