The source code for QtWebEngine can be found on gitorious [qt.gitorious.org].

Building QtWebengine

For Windows see here [qt.io]

To build a release build (generally recommended) do:
qmake -r CONFIG+=release

Testing

examples can then be found in the examples/ subdir. It consists of two minimalistic browser testbeds for the Widgets and QtQuick integration, in addition to some exisiting QtWebKitWidgets examples that were imported in order to ensure we have a good migration path.
