@vadak ,

Qt webkitwidgets will not support for mingw. You should use Qt msvc.

[vadak]

How do use Qt msvc setup because my Qt5.7 having this option only

[Vinod Kuntoji]

@vadak ,

Install the visual studio, then use the msvc compiler in Qt,

[vadak]

@Vinod-Kuntoji thanks for your quick response .

Hi and welcome to devnet,

To add to @Vinod-Kuntoji, you also need to install the matching MSVC version of Qt.

[Konstantin Tokarev]

@vadak With MinGW please use http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/qtwebkit/5.9/latest/qtwebkit/qtwebkit-Windows-Windows_7-Mingw53-Windows-Windows_7-X86.7z and Qt 5.9

In general, look for archives with "mingw" in the name, and skip those with "msvc"

[SGaist]

I see there's been one small error: it's QtWebEngine that's only available with MSVC and at least MSVC2015 because of the third parties involved.

The original QtWebKit was deprecated with 5.6 and removed since 5.7 hence the error @vadak gets. So the current good solution is to use the reboot from @Konstantin-Tokarev.

[vadak]

@SGaist thanks for your info ,now i am using windows10 OS and QT5.7 and this Qt5.9 related QTwebkit will work on windows10 OS?

[Konstantin Tokarev]

@vadak Yes it should work fine on Windows 10

[vadak]

@Konstantin-Tokarev thanks for your info and one more question aboutQtwebkit i downloadedQt webkit and how do add this sourcemodule to my QT5.7 any set up process is available ?

[Konstantin Tokarev]

You cannot use provided binaries with Qt 5.7, they require Qt 5.9. However you can build from sources with your 5.7

[vadak]

@Konstantin-Tokarev i will try with QT5.7 webkit module.

[Konstantin Tokarev]

@vadak There are no official MinGW binaries of QtWebKit for Qt 5.7, you should build from sources or (better) upgrade your Qt to 5.9

[vadak]

@Konstantin-Tokarev thanks for you information ,or i will use MSVC binaries version of Qt5.7.

[Konstantin Tokarev]

@vadak MSVC binaries for 5.7 that you've found are year old.
