Cannot build QtWebkit module using Qt 5.12.8 LTS sources

Ramakanth

I downloaded the Qt Webkit sources from http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/qtwebkit/5.212/latest/src/submodules/qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.212.tar.xz
as part of building Qt 5.12.8 sources assuming it shall be compatible. However, it didnot build QtWebkit module.

Even building as a separate module, qmake is not successful.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit$ qmake
Cannot read /home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit/release/Source/WebKit/qt_lib_webkit.pri: No such file or directory
Cannot read /home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit/release/Source/WebKit/qt_lib_webkitwidgets.pri: No such file or directory

Could you please let me know compatible QtWebkit sources for Qt 5.12.8 LTS sources or how to build Qtwebkit as a separate or inclusive module of Qt?

this module has been deprecated for a while.Use QWebEngine module.

Hi @Ramakanth

Can you have a look at this link.

All the best.

@Pradeep-P-N Followed the instructions provided in https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/wiki/Building-QtWebKit-on-Linux
However, it throws below error:

CMake Error at Source/cmake/OptionsQt.cmake:592 (message):
Qt with OpenGL support is required for ENABLE_OPENGL
Call Stack (most recent call first):
Source/cmake/WebKitCommon.cmake:51 (include)

Here is the configure line for building Qt 5.12.8 sources:

-no-opengl

You built Qt without OpenGL but QtWebKit requires OpenGL.
Build Qt with OpenGL support.

Marking the thread as solved as it is solved using the instructions provided in
https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/wiki/Building-QtWebKit-on-Linux

and using below cmake configuration with Qt 5.212 sources:

cmake -DPORT=Qt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Linux -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=arm -DCMAKE_SYSROOT=$SDKPREFIX -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=$SDKPATH/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE=ONLY -DQt5_DIR=$SDKPREFIX/usr/local/Qt-5.12.8/lib/cmake/Qt5 -DENABLE_WEBKIT2=OFF -DENABLE_OPENGL=OFF -DENABLE_GEOLOCATION=OFF -DENABLE_DEVICE_ORIENTATION=OFF -DENABLE_VIDEO=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_AUDIO=OFF -DUSE_LIBHYPHEN=OFF ../../qtwebkit;
