Unable to Build, don't understand the errors/help!

Im new to QT and I'm rebuilding an old app. I've installed the oldest and latest qt kits but both seems to have this error.

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets
02:32:50: The process "/Users/nicholas/Documents/QT/5.11.0/clang_64/bin/qmake" exited with code 3.
Error while building/deploying project IVLEDownloader (kit: Desktop Qt 5.11.0 clang 64bit)
When executing step "qmake"

I'm stuck at this for a couple of days and its killing me. Anyone can help me with this?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

The QtWebKit module has been deprecated in 5.6 and removed from 5.7 (it's still buildable though). However you should rather check @Konstantin-Tokarev's QtWebKit reboot if you need that module.

Re: [Unable to Build](don't understand the errors/help!)

Ive downloaded the package {qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha2.tar.xz} from the QTWebKit website that you've provided me but I'm not totally sure what to do with it

I clicked on it and thought it would automatically install but I still get the same error when building. Am I doing something wrong?

Since you downloaded the sources, did you build the module ?

[nicholaslee]

no, how do I build a module :( I'm using mac

The usual way to build Qt projects:

mkdir build_qtwebkit
cd build_qtwebkit
/path/to/Qt/qmake /path/to/qtwebkit
make -jX where X is the number of core + 1
make install

I managed to mkdir and cd into it. But im not sure if I'm getting the paths right.

Am I doing it wrong?
