webengine for Risc-v

robin7863

I am tring to cross-compile QT to Risc-v, why jump over webengine?
When we can get webengine for Risc-v?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

QWebEngine depends on the Chromium project so unless they provide support for Risc-V, there's no reason for that module to be built for that architecture.

@SGaist
Thanks for your feedback.
I have two further questions .

on Risc-V, is there any solution in QT to run browser? only webkit ?
What is the dependency on Risc-V arch in Chromium? JS interpretor ? what others?

That you should ask Chromium project.

Do you want to render HTML inside your app or run external browser?

OK, got your point.

Html in app and browser , Both availble for me and browser is better.

@robin7863 Take a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdesktopservices.html#openUrl

Who is rendering html behine this API?
My problem is there is not web engine on QT 5.15 for Riscv.
Will this API work without web engine?

This API simply starts the browser which is configured as default.
Explained in the documentation:
"Opens the given url in the appropriate Web browser for the user's desktop environment"
