Compatibility with the NEWEST protobuf?

build qt-everywhere-src-6.5.1 with its own protobuf, which is NOT included by default (so I had the above error . )

try to add the path of google/protobuf/stubs/logging.h in the build script of the module.

The second choice will require you change the source code of protobuf.

Is there a way to just disable webengine directly?
I can build webengine separately later on?

Thank you ...

[JoeCFD]

@jiapei100 You can add something like the following:
-skip quick3d -skip qt3d -skip wayland -skip location
in your configure step.

-skip webengine? or -skip qtwebengine? I am not sure about module name. You check it out and try it.

I can tell from my side it's already turned off. However, I got:

And, there are a couple of build errors, such as:

Seriously headaching to build Qt from source ????

@jiapei100 Better to remove the build dir completely and rebuild everything from scratch.

Please take a look at this pastebin ...

I gave up ... my god...

As I can see while building qt5 from source, I clearly got:

Note: Also available for Linux: linux-clang linux-icc

Note: The following modules are not being compiled in this configuration:
    webenginecore
    webengine
    webenginewidgets
    pdf
    pdfwidgets

WARNING: Python version 2 (2.7.5 or later) is required to build QtWebEngine.

WARNING: Python version 2 (2.7.5 or later) is required to build QtPdf.

WARNING: QtWebEngine will not be built.

WARNING: QtPdf will not be built.

by which, I can avoid buiding webengine related libraries..
It looks webengine brings a lot of headache.

BTW, does qt6 require Python3 ONLY now? We don't need Python2 any more? ^_^ That's a good news...

[JoeCFD]

@jiapei100 What is your OS? I remember I could build it without webengine module on Ubuntu. I can try it again.

I am using Ubuntu 22.04...

[JoeCFD]

@jiapei100 add -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview -skip qtdoc will turn off webengine build

[semlanik]

The error was fixed here I believe: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtgrpc/+/487341

The error you observe is unrelated to webengine, but it's qtgrpc module that was introduced in Qt6.5. You can skip building it using -skip qtgrpc argument.

In our CI we build qtgrpc module against protobuf version 21 by now.

The linker error meanwhile looks strange. Did you update the standard library in your system recently? Did you rebuild/reinstall the protobuf in /usr/local/lib? If yes, please submit issue to our bugtracker so we can investigate this issue and provide the respective fix.
