Does MinGW not support webenginecore and webenginewidgets modules?
-
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Qt project that requires the webenginecore and webenginewidgets modules, but I’m using MinGW for building my application. This project was successfully built using MSVC 2022 (64-bit), but the issue occurred after switching to MinGW.
I’ve encountered an issue where these modules are not recognized when using MinGW, even though I have successfully installed Qt with MinGW support.
Here are the details:
Qt version: 6.8.2
Compiler: MinGW 64-bit
Error message: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginecore webenginewidgets
I’ve checked the Qt installation and confirmed that the modules are not present in the MinGW folder, though they are available in the MSVC folder.
So, my question is: Does MinGW not support the webenginecore and webenginewidgets modules, or is there an additional step required to enable them for MinGW? If so, could you guide me through the setup process or any troubleshooting steps to get these modules working with MinGW?Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
It's the other way around, WebEngine folks never supported MinGW.

@SGaist Is there any other way to handle HTML and JS with MinGW? I am looking for an alternative to WebEngine for rendering web content in my application.

If you are wanting to display web pages you should be using QtWebEngine, and you will have to use MSVC compiler instead of MinGW under Windows. -
