        What does 'is not there' means? Did configure warn about QtWebEngine missing dependencies? If not then it will also be built.

            As you can see it's failing when looking for cups-config.

              Thanks for your advice, i did same and now there is no warning of QtWebEngine at configure step.
              But it was getting failed in next step with below error :
              "c++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus"
              I checked with dmesg, and found some out of memory things.
              Even though i have 16GB of RAM, then I increased my swap size from 2 GB to 8GB.
              Again did cmake....
              But now, after some time terminal is getting crashed without any warning or error.
              Screenshot from 2023-10-09 16-24-59.png
              I checked with top command and found that some time cpu utilization is getting 85% to 100% by cc1plus and kswapd0.

              How to overcome this error ?

              dmesg output:

                I think you have to reduce the number of parallel builds/processes going on. There was a recent (last month?) thread to this effect, you might try to find it while awaiting a definitive answer.

                    @prathyuch-1999 If I could I would. Perhaps you'd like to search instead of me.

                        I already did this also, i have 12 core processor so i added -j12 in cmake, but no solution. Same problem exists, terminal getting crashed.

                          That is not reducing the number of threads ;-) Use -j1 or -j2, this will reduce RAM usage considerably.

                              @prathyuch-1999 are you building Qt under root? If yes, do not do it. You should build it under your user name and install it somewhere under root.

                                    Looks like you need more RAM.

                                    Hi,
                                    I have RAM-16GB, 12 core processor and created swap of size 8GB ?
                                    16GB RAM is not sufficient ? or what could be the problem ?

                                      Well the compiler clearly tells you that it does not have enough memory. So perhaps yes, 16GB may be too small. I don't know for sure, I never compile the web engine module when I compile Qt.

                                        I increased my swap size again and it worked for me.
                                        Thanks to all of you for your advice, finally i have successfully build and install Qt-6.5.2 in my Ubuntu PC.
                                        I have successfully build and install QtCreator-11.0.3 also.
                                        But now QtCreator-11.0.3 is not working properly, whenever i will click on gui components in left panel, QtCreator is getting crashed with message in terminal "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".
                                        I am not able to drag and drop or put any gui widget in form(.ui file) in qtcreator, it's getting crashed immediately just after click on that.
                                        What could be the error ? How to resolve this issue.

                                          @prathyuch-1999 Just use a prebuilt Qt Creator, it's way easier.
