Qt WebEngine problems during Qt 5.14.1 static build from source


  • Hello there. I am trying to build static Qt 5.14.1 from sources and after running make I got this: (Actually this is a second output, first one had this error too so I decided to run make again hoping that it would magically repair itself :^) )

    Done. Made 11522 targets from 1716 files in 15426ms

    And now these 2 words: Done and ERROR are kinda confusing me... What went wrong with QtWebEngine? Am i now unable to use this module? I mean I didn't plan to (for now at least) but if I can reconfigure something and build Qt with it rn, it would save me a lot of time and nerves I guess. Can you help me?

  • UPD: I've built Qt shared and it's all ok but I still want to solve this.

  • I have the same error while building the static library.

    Config is this:

    configure -commercial -debug-and-release -static -static-runtime -mp -webengine-proprietary-codecs -nomake examples -nomake tests
