Qt Webengine 5.6.3 is not being built.

Hi,

I tried to build Qt Webengine along with Qt 5.6.3 sources but it is not being built.

./configure -v -opensource -confirm-license -make libs -release -shared -sysroot /home/target/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-05.03.00.07/linux-devkit/sysroots/armv7ahf-neon-linux-gnueabi -device arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -device-option CROSS_COMPILE=/home/target/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-05.03.00.07/linux-devkit/sysroots/x86_64-arago-linux/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- -reduce-exports -optimize-size -no-gtk -no-use-gold-linker -qt-libjpeg -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -system-sqlite -no-xcb -no-cups -no-opengl -no-qml-debug -skip qt3d -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtcanvas3d -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtgamepad -skip qtgraphicaleffects -skip qtimageformats -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtlocation -skip qtmacextras -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtscript -skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtspeech -skip qttools -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwinextras -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtx11extras -skip qtxmlpatterns -nomake tools -nomake tests -nomake examples -no-compile-examples -no-iconv -dbus -fontconfig -system-freetype -ssl -qt-pcre -no-pch -recheck-all -DQT_ARCH_ARM

Since QtWebengine 5.6.3 depends on Qt Declarative and Qt Webchannnel, these modules are not skipped. However, Qt Webengine is not built as part of Qt 5.6.3 sources.

Having found in the configuration that QtWebegine needs opengl es2 to include Qt dependencies like quick and webchannel, added opengl es2 instead of -no-opengl in the configure line but Qt Webengine is not being built.

Building QtWebengine as a separate module after installing Qt libraries give the following errors with qmake and make:

Please let me know if Qt Webengine can be built as part of Qt 5.6.3 sources or as a separate module. If so, any missing dependencies or configure line issue for Qt 5.6.3.

@Ramakanth said in Qt Webengine 5.6.3 is not being built.:

/target/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.3/qtwebengine$ qmake

Are you sure you're calling correct qmake here? You should use absolute path.

@jsulm Yes after setting the PATH using export PATH=/home/target/ti-processor-sdk-linux-rt-am335x-evm-05.03.00.07/linux-devkit/sysroots/armv7ahf-neon-linux-gnueabi/usr/local/Qt-5.6.3/bin:$PATH, I run qmake.
