Installing webkit for Capybara

I'm trying to install webkit for Capybara, using the information provided here, but I'm getting an error.

Following the instructions I have tried to change the qmake.conf file in the Qt installation directory but I couldn't find the QMAKE_IDC parameter and I don't know where the following values should be placed:

QMAKE_RCC = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]$${DIR_SEPARATOR}rcc$${EXE_SUFFIX}
QMAKE_LFLAGS = -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++

The following error is what I got:

C:\Users\Deepzster\Desktop\app\app>gem install capybara-webkit
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
    Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
        ERROR:  Error installing capybara-webkit:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

C:/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.0.0/bin/ruby.exe -r ./siteconf20141118-9536-wfpmna.rb extconf.rb
    Command 'qmake -spec win32-g++ ' not available

I had the same problem. I had installed the latest version of Qt, which is version 5.3. I looked up the instructions on https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/wiki/Installing-Qt-and-compiling-capybara-webkit, and one of the instructions is to modify the qmake.conf file, and the edits are to be made after "the line beginning with QMAKE_IDC". However, this line wasn't available in my qmake.conf file.

Therefore, I installed the version stated in the instructions, which is version 4.8.5. Here's the link - http://download.qt-project.org/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.5/. I downloaded qt-win-opensource-4.8.5-mingw.exe (I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine).

The qmake.conf file in this version does have the line beginning with QMAKE_IDC, so I could edit it as required. I then followed the rest of the instructions up to step 10 on the link (I also tried step 11, but I got a 'make failed' error). I then went to the directory containing my Gemfile and entered

gem install capybara-webkit

and the installation was successful.

Make sure your qmake is added in system path, otherwise it will fail to install.

There is no qmake utility on your workstation, as indicated by this message:

Command 'qmake -spec win32-g++ ' not available

I may suggest you to install QT for Windows. If this already done here suggested readings.
