[Shidharth]

Hi All,

In my qt5.5 build process qtwebkit.dll was not created but it does not throw any errors what is the problem behind this Anybody knows please help me.

I have use following configure command

configure -L C:\icu\lib -I C:\icu\include -icu -L C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib -I C:\OpenSSL-Win32\include -openssl -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake tools -debug

Thanks.

Hi,

How did you get Qt sources ?

When you run configure, it will produce an output to tell you which components are found and which are not found. If the Qt WebKit dependencies are not found, then it will not be built.

Can you post your configure output?

Might be a silly question but did you call configure in the source's root folder or qtbase ?

[JKSH]

Hmm... it looks like ICU is enabled, which is good.

1. Do you have the other WebKit requirements at https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git#System_Requirements ?
2. Open the Makefile in your Qt root folder. It should have lines line module-qtbase, module-qtmultimedia, etc. Does it contain module-qtwebkit?
3. Are you able to use your newly-built Qt tools to build <Qt Root>\qtwebkit\WebKit.pro ?

[sandy.martel23]

Do you have ruby, python, perl and qt/Qt\gnuwin32\bin available in your PATH?

[Shidharth]

Yes I have all requirements needed to webkit build. but qtwebkit.dll was not created

[Shidharth]

Thanks for ur reply JKSH,
Make file contains module-qtwebkit..
but during build it shows message "Some of the required modules (qtHaveModule(webkit)) are not available." "Skipped.".. what can i do for this?

[Shidharth]

@SGaist
I have call configure in c:/qt/5.5>

[JKSH]

What happens if you go to the root folder and call this?:

nmake module-qtwebkit

[Shidharth]

@JKSH
It Shows this details but webkit.dll was not created

Huh... there are no targets. (If you look at the Makefile from other folders, this section has lots of contents.) I'm not sure what's happening here, sorry...

Try subscribing to the Interest mailing list and asking there. You can talk to Qt engineers directly there.
