[Development] Problems compiling QtWebEngine in 5.8.0 beta

[Egor Pugin]

Probably file path is too long.
MS improved situation since win10.1607 (up to 32k symbols) but almost
every program today (even from MS) is not able to handle such paths.
They require special handling.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx
for more info.

I had same issues with cmake+msbuild invocations.
