[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm ok..I think now,this is the right category what im looking for.Ive deleted the past one

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm I have gone through this documentation https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-features.html#audio-and-video-codecs where it refers that need to include that config line..but,my question is where I have to do that..Because,im not acutally compiling in command prompt..that's why I'm asking the clear steps to do line by line.

configure -webengine-proprietary-codecs

they said,the above line should be included in top level..i can't get that

Do you mean the configure command?
configure is used when you build from source code. So, if you build QtWebengine from source.

@jsulm i have the webengine library with extensions .a

build from source means whether I have to create webengineview.a from source file again?

@jsulm ok..thank you..Ill try it out and let you know the status of the process

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm Hello,I forgot about the command line previously i have done,,so can u please tell me the exact command templates and the steps to build the source please

[jsulm]

@Vijaykarthikeyan Actually it is explained in the link you posted:

When using qmake to build just the Qt WebEngine module, the following command can be used (in this example, the Qt WebEngine source code is located in C:\qt\qtwebengine):

qmake C:\qt\qtwebengine -- -webengine-proprietary-codecs

So, simply execute that qmake command and then "make" and "make install"...

@jsulm I have downloaded and extracted the webview folder for the verson 5.15.2 which im currently using in Qt.When i try to run this cmd line in command prompt it shows error..upto this,what can i do

[jsulm]

@Vijaykarthikeyan What command and what error please?

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@jsulm

I'm trying to run the powershell to create build folder for webview..

This is the build folder last time i created.Now.i forgot about the steps

[SGaist]

You're on Windows, it's nmake or jom since you are using Visual Studio.

See the documentation.

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@SGaist ok i understand.But,what is the actual step to build the webview dynamic library from the source after the source has been downloaded from the qt offline installer.I previously did the build process but now forgot it..Please guide me the steps

[SGaist]

@Vijaykarthikeyan @jsulm already gave you that information.

[Vijaykarthikeyan]

@SGaist but..i forgot about how to compile in command prompt..which directory i has to navigate..that's why im asking again and again

[jsulm]

which directory i has to navigate

Go to your build folder and then call qmake like shown above and then jom
