Build qtwebengine for embedded linux

@Iheb said in Build qtwebengine for embedded linux:

Why Qtwebengine won't be built and how to build it.

Check the config.log file to see what is missing.

[Iheb]

hey @jsulm thank you for your quick reply. I checked the config.log file and found these errors:

```make[2]: Entering directory '/qt5/qtwebengine/tools/qmake/config.tests/libvpx'

And also this:

@Iheb You need to install libvpx and libvpx-dev I guess for your target device

[Iheb]

@jsulm yes I think that is the solution. However after installing libvpx and the dev package I get the same error: svc_context.h: No such file or directory I took a look in /usr/lib and didn't find the file. After a little search I found that the newest version of libvpx-dev doesn't have svc_context.h. I'll post the solution when I find it. Thanks

[jsulm]

@Iheb Did you install it in your sysroot (or synced sysroot after installation)?

[Iheb]

@jsulm I've installed it in my target device (LeMaker Guitar) and I'm using sshfs to get the board's rootfs on my desktop so I think it's synced.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
Qt will be installed into '/mnt/lemaker//opt/qt5-arm'.

[Iheb]

@jsulm I managed to add the svc_context.h file in vpx and after running make I get this output:

Qtwebengine still won't be built and I get no errors in config.log file

[jsulm]

@Iheb Please run configure from a clean state without artefacts from previous runs.

Hi @Iheb did you find a solution ? I want to know if webengine can be used on my raspberry pi .
