Error in building QT 5.15.12 from sources with QtWebEngine on VS2022

[Prashant Lade]

I had issues in compiling Qt 5.15.12 with webengine on VS2022. This thread
https://forum.qt.io/topic/144522/qtwebengine-compilation-issue-using-visual-studio-2022
was very helpful to fix this error. I updated my visual studio using available auto updates in my visual studio 2022 and my errors got changed as below. There are 2 possible reasons.

1. Visual studio 2022 needs some more changes and a patch or update is needed

2. QtWebEngine code needs a patch to adapt to VS2022 changes.

Both the problems are not in my control. Can someone help me fix this problem? Any other suggestions?

This issue is resolved for windows after a patch was delivered by QT team. They will probably publish the patch in next version.
Thank you all for reading.

@Vijaykarthikeyan any news for this topic?

[Prashant Lade]

Not sure if you have already resolved this topic.
There is a patch provided by QT support. Also note the link I provided in my original message. That has some valuable information and fixes.

Hello!

So, I added this patch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebengine-chromium/+/505412
I have successfully built QtWebEngine 5.15.14 for Visual Studio 2022. Now, this issue is resolved.
