[Solved] QtWebEngine module not found on Windows - Chromium does not work with mingw

[nando76]

Hi,

for which Platform did you Compile?
E.g as far as i know winrt has no webengine Support yet..

Hi

It is just Windows 7; 32 Bits

Also, I didn't compile anything AFAIK, the installer just downloaded and installed everything for me.

[drewpotter]

Is is necessary to compile QtWebEngine on Windows? I installed it using the installer and I don't think anything compiled.

[nando76]

in qtcreator which kit you selected to build your application?

[drewpotter]

Hi,

In qtcreator I have Mingw as the kit to build the application.

[nando76]

i am not sure, but i think qtwebengine stuff is not supported for mingw.
maybe you should consider using microsoft visual studio...

[drewpotter]

Really? wow that is amazing I didn't realise that Mingw did not work with QtWebEngine. Thanks for letting me know.

[drewpotter]

Wow. I just found a posting about this:

Qt WebEngine is not available for the MinGW build because Chromium does not support building with MinGW.

Note that you need MSVC 2013; older versions of MSVC are not supported: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows
