Getting an old project running

Peter8

Hi there,

I need to test a web app loading in QtWebKit on version 5.4. I found this repo https://github.com/qt/qtwebview but can't seem to get it running with the latest QT studio. Any advice on how to get this to work and how to load a web page into it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

Why latest? You wrote that you want to test it with Qt5.4?

@jsulm Thanks for your reply. I was hoping it would have backwards compatibility to run older projects. Where would I get 5.4? The download page seems to only offer the latest version.

@jsulm Thanks for that, I had some issues getting the project building because of xcodebuild changes over the years but I have that fixed now.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to help me on this but when I go to build the project I'm getting this error. It's been a long time since I have done cpp, any idea where I should start looking for a solution?

/Qt5.4.2/5.4/clang_64/lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/qcompilerdetection.h:890: error: 'utility' file not found

@Peter8 I'm not Mac expert, but could be that this old Qt version will not work with recent XCode/C++ compiler.

@jsulm no problem, I was hoping that wouldn't be the case! Thanks again for the help.
