Im not 100% sure but i think easy route to install extra Qt version from
online to get the tool. ( and install in local user folder, NOT system wide folder )
If wonder if we can just copy exe. but i fear .dat is not updated.

@mrjj
What is the local user folder?
And...
So you want me to install Qt again with the online install

I just managed to copy the .dat file so I could rename it o .exe. It opened up an archive manager and displayed an error message saying it couldn't open the file as a PE archive

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
well just in our home folder.
Not in /opt or anywhere rest of system might look for so files etc.
(just to be safe. not sure it matters)

Well it seems to be suggested that.
Else wait a few hours and maybe someone know how to apt-get it directly or
something faster.
we could also just try to copy my version and see but im not sure it has its right ini file and dat file then.
maybe you can apt-get webengine directly, but im not sure under which name/deb file.

the .dat file is NOT the exe. :)

Thanks for the help mrjj! I upvoted you on every post : ) (Thanks for the upvote!) I think I'll wait. The apt-get method seems to be the best idea. But I'll try installing it again.

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
I agree. Its pretty normal to use distro Qt and for say unity i think it was
also needed for integration. So i assume there is some other way.

Nite Coder

I just found the exe file! : ) lol

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
hehe :)
it was in other location ?
So hopefully now it works!

Nite Coder

No... It was in the same location... I missed it...

Nite Coder

It still doesn't work...
Though I updated to 5.11.1 and I checked it installed QWebEngine

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
Ok but to talk it over
You had the webengine in the list and it installed ?

Do you have the samples installed ?
alt text

Nite Coder

I do have the examples

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
They also complain about
QT += webenginewidgets
or do they compile and run ?

Nite Coder

They compile and run and I don't know why

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
well your project should too then. :)
try delete build folder again.
also any .user file to select the new Qt for the project.
It might remember the old version of Qt or have old files in build folder.

Nite Coder

Still doesn't work. I deleted the build folder and the .user file. Though... I might create a new project and try

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
Good plan.
Since the sample works, there are high hopes :)

Nite Coder

Those high hopes are now dashed... Though your upvote is appreciated : )

Nite Coder

Do you know if Chromium has to be installed? I know that it is based on Chromium

mrjj

@Nite-Coder
so new project didnt compile?
After adding
QT += webenginewidgets
did you run qmake from menu ?

Nite Coder

How do you qmake from the menu?
