Unable to qmake QtWebengine - "qtwebenginecore-config.pri: No such file or directory"

Ramakanth

I tried to configure Qt 5.12.8 with the below configure line on Ubuntu 16.04 but QtWebengine is not being configured.

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -sql-sqlite -qt-xcb -cups -no-opengl -skip qt3d -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtcanvas3d -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtgamepad -skip qtgraphicaleffects -skip qtimageformats -skip qtlocation -skip qtmacextras -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtspeech -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwinextras -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtx11extras -skip qtxmlpatterns -nomake tools -nomake tests -nomake examples -no-use-gold-linker -no-iconv -no-mtdev -dbus -fontconfig -system-freetype -no-libudev -ssl -qt-pcre -v

It installed all the Qt modules except QtWebengine.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebengine$ qmake
Cannot read /home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebengine/src/core/qtwebenginecore-config.pri: No such file or directory
Project ERROR: Could not find feature webengine-v8-snapshot-support.

Building QtWebengine as a separate module after extracting Qt webengine sources(qtwebengine-everywhere-src-5.12.8.tar) did configure successfully.

But make throws the error Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: qml-private quick-private

Can you suggest if I need to skip or add any other modules in the configure line which are dependent on QtWebEngine?
In the above configure line which installed Qt, Qt Quick modules are skipped.

Hi,

Because you are skipping qtdeclarative.

Ramakanth

Thanks..It installed other qtquick modules along with Qt webengine like QtQml,QtQuick,QtQuickwidgets etc. So incorder to build qt webengine skipping Qtwebview and QtWebchannel, we need to build qt declarative modules like above?

SGaist

qtdeclarative is a mandatory dependency.

Ramakanth

@SGaist Ok Thanks..Though the footprint is more, marking the issue as solved.

You have 3 required system libraries that are missing from the looks of it.
