@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'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

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

See the documentation.

@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
