Hello, All!
I compile Qt from the source texts and get this error:

Here the word "FAILED:" occurs twice: .But nevertheless, Qt is installed, but there are problems with QtWebEngineCore. Jib,re dslftn Python. It is called by the command C:/Prg/Python311/python .exe .
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x91 in position 3: invalid start byte
According to the message, it can be understood that the incorrect string is in UTF 8 encoding. It's hard to believe that incorrect UTF-8 encoded strings can be stored in the Qt source texts for a long time. I ask for help!

Then I successfully compile Qt Creator.

What am I doing wrong? How do I successfully compile QtWebEngineCore ?
With best regards, Navadvipa Chandra das.

@Navadvipa-Chandra-das do you need web engine module? If not, just skip it (pass -skip qtwebengine to configure).

Regarding encoding issues: did you download the Windows source package?

Btw. you do know that Qt has an installer which you can use and then don't need to compile Qt nor Qt Creator at all?

Hello Sierdzio and All!

I didn't get the source code from the package. I used the command.

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt6
perl init-repository

I don't need QtWebEngine by itself, but I want to try to do something on WebAssembler, and for it I need Qt WebEngine.

I know about the ready-made installer, but it's more interesting to assemble it yourself. In addition, I tried to fix the source code of the Qt library itself.

With best regards, Navadvipa Chandra das.
