Unknown option -no-webkit?

Is there a reason I get "Unknown option -no-webkit" even thou -no-webkit is listed in the configure options when trying to build Qt5?

The "-no-webkit" option was removed from configure, maybe the configure --help still need to be updated.

If you initialized the repo with the qtwebkit submodule, "cd qtwebkit && make" might work.

So the option to omit the N1 build breaker was removed? That doesn't sound very smart...

If you do not want to build QtWebKit at all, use the --no-webkit argument of the init-repository script and you are done.

Ok, will give it another go, thanks a lot.

never mind that... found the problem

What was the problem?

Let's help our friends from the future, when their favorite search engine brings them to this thread =P

The problem, for some reason was that the double dash is displayed as one single, longer dash. When I copied and pasted it into the dos prompt it didn't work, later I opened the perl script and saw it is two dashes and used that instead and that did the trick. So the option is really:

@--no-webkit@

How to turn off webkit?[/quote]init-repository is a Perl script for automatically downloading and configuring Qt's git repositiories. See http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git . The posts above say that the solution is to use a double-dash.

Edit: That's for init-repository, not configure

Or, you can just delete the "webkit" folder before you run configure.

double dash doesn't work.

I've tried deleting folder will post later if that worked

@-skip qtwebkit@

works for QT 5.2.1

pip010

neither :

perl init-repository --no-webkit

nor :

perl init-repository -skip qtwebkit

worked :(
however

perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebkit,-qtwebkit-examples

seems it did the job, webkit is no more during git submodule init,
someone need to update the docs since they are wrong !!! someone??

Hi,

What documentation are you talking about ?

Please note that this thread is 5 years old, a lot happened in between including removal of the QtWebKit from the pre-built binaries after deprecation.
