Qt5.2.1, Visual Studio 10: Webkit not built?

[gvanvoor]

I'm attempting to build Qt 5.2.1 from the source zip, including webkit on windows 8.1, 64-bit using Visual Studio 10.

In the makefile generate by configure I can clearly see that module-qtwebkit is scheduled to be built and the build seems successful, yet I can't find the webkit dll anywhere (neither does cmake, and as my project needs webkit it's crucial I get this to work).
I tried building it separately by invoking "nmake qtwebkit" resulting only in the message "‘qtwebkit’ is up to date"

Any ideas as to what's going wrong?

Hi,

Have you double-checked that you have all of Qt WebKit's dependencies? See http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

[gvanvoor]

I'm not building from git, I'm building from the source zip that can be downloaded from digia. That'sanother problem: all documentation seems to assume one builds from git and half of the info provided is irrelevant for my situation (if only I knew which half...).

I didn't have python installed when I first tried and got quite a clear error about that. I would expect that if anything else is missing the build should fail with an error and not skip an entire module silently.

[JKSH]

The list of requirements/dependencies is the same, regardless of whether you're building from git or a zip file. The build steps are the same too ("configure", then "make", then "make install").

Please post the following for diagnostic purposes:

Your configure options

qtbase\config.summary

[gvanvoor]

Not entirely: I don't need git for starters and it's unclear whether I need all or part of the other requirements in the same list.
As the build phase fails to give me an error when a required dependency is missing I apparently have no other choice than to install software until the build phase actually seems to build something.

I'll be filing a bug report later today for the lack of an error when not all build requirements are satisfied.

As it's supposedly required, I tried building icu but the configuration seems to fail.
I get some cygwin warnings ( couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer) and the usual MS_DOS style path detected, then the following:

export CPP= CC=cl CXX=cl CPPFLAGS= CFLAGS= /Gy /MD CXXFLAGS= /Gy /MD LDFLAGS= MAKE=
Running ./configure --prefix=/cygdrive/c/icu/dist for Windows with Cygwin using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler

and finally the following error:

runConfigureICU: line 424: c:\Development[ snip ]\qt-everywhere-opensource-src\qtbase\configure.bat: command not found
runConfigureICU: ./configure failed

[JKSH]

Good point.

Here is the official, non-git documentation: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/windows-requirements.html

Yes, ICU is definitely required for Qt WebKit. There is a pre-built package available for MSVC2010: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Compiling-ICU-with-MSVC

Thanks for the info. As I have experienced application crashes because of dll's built with different options than the main application, I prefer to build it from source rather than using the precompiled dll (which, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be working either for the moment)

bq. runConfigureICU: line 424: c:\Development[ snip ]\qt-everywhere-opensource-src\qtbase\configure.bat: command not found
runConfigureICU: ./configure failed

Something is horribly wrong here, why does runConfigureICU (part of the icu dist) is trying to configure Qt (qtbase\configure.bat)?

bq. Running ./configure —prefix=/cygdrive/c/icu/dist for Windows with Cygwin using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler

Don't do that. Use the "VS20XX Native Tools Command prompt". Make sure that cygwin is not in your PATH. Make sure that Win32 versions of Perl, Python and Ruby are accessible. Make sure that icu/bin and Qt-5.2.1/gnuwin32/bin are also in your PATH. INCLUDE and LIB environment variables should also be set to find icu installation.

Use configure.bat with a DOS path for prefix.

Personnaly, I had problems with nmake but success with jom.exe (!?)

I built Qt5.1/Qt5.2 with VS2010, VS2012 and VS2013 successfully on Win7/Win8 machines with this setup.

Did you successfully build Qt with web kit as static library?
I am having troubles to build ICU as static lib in MSVC12(2013) x64 with the error "C compiler not found", while x86 works well..
(I hope not too much OT..)

[sandy.martel]

I definitely have WebKit, our UI is html based. But sorry, I never tried to build as a static library.
