The test for this can be found in qtwebengine\config.tests\winversion . You might try to compile these manually in your environment to see whether and how the compilation fails.

Note that , make caches the results of config.tests. You might need to pass '-recheck' to configure to make sure that it's evaluated again.

Hope the official documentation is right though?

PS: Release of 5.11.0 is around the corner, so maybe you directly want to start with this version?
