Qt5 QtWebKit build

coolbr

Hi,

I tried to build Qt5 and QtWebKit but I failed to build QtWebKit with the following errors.

Project WARNING: Use load(qt_build_config) instead of load(qt_module).
Project WARNING: /home/ewlee/qt5/qtwebkit/Source/api.pri still sets MODULE_PRI. Not auto-generating module .pri file.
Project WARNING: Could not resolve QMAKE_EXTRA_MODULE_FORWARDS path!
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: declarative
make[2]: *** [sub-api-pri-make_first-ordered] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory /home/ewlee/qt5/qtwebkit/WebKitBuild/Release/Source' make[1]: *** [sub-Source-QtWebKit-pro-make_first-ordered] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory /home/ewlee/qt5/qtwebkit/WebKitBuild/Release'
make: *** [incremental] Error 2

I followed http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git but I couldn't succeed to build qtwebkit.
I couldn't find out any clue or solution from this site so I am posting new topic.
Can anybody help me?

This is not your fault. "declarative" module name was changed to "quick1". Try again in a few days - update your local clone and rerun the compilation. Or, you can try checking out QtWebKit's HEAD right now, maybe it is fixed there already.

Thanks for reply.

I checked out HEAD and rebuilt qtwebkit but the problem was not gone.
How can I check whether or not I checked out qtwebkit's HEAD?

You can use qt5_tool, but you will have to consult "Building Qt5 from Git" for that, I don't remember the syntax.

Or:
@
cd qtwebkit
git pull
cd ..
./build -j <number of cores>
@

Not sure if pull will work. If not, you can try using git fetch, then decide which branch is the newest (might be master, but might have some other name).

I checked qtwebkit's branch and it was master.
Origin/master is origin/HEAD, which means HEAD qtwebkit didn't solve this error.
Do you know how to fix this error?
The only thing I can do is waiting for a few days and retry it?

sierdzio

Probably yes. Or you can attempt to fix this yourself, and submit a patch to Qt devs :) You can also try checking out some older SHA from qt5.git, or grab sources/ binaries from "Qt5 snapshots":http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/beta-snapshots/.

I have tried to cross build latest snapshot and with some work I have manged to get into WebKit compilation. It was doing quite well for a moment until I got to point:

in dir: /qtwebkit/WebKitBuild/Release/Source/WebKit2

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: quick qml

Those modules are specified in Target.pri and WebKit2.pri but I seem to not have them? There is qtquick1 but it seems it depends on webkit to be build first so I always get back to same error.

I tried to build qtwebkit and finally I succeeded to do that.
However, I got another issue like below when I run MiniBrowser in qtwebkit.
QXcbConnection: Failed to initialize XRandr
QXcbConnection: Failed to initialize XFixes
QXcbConnection: Failed to initialize XRender
Xcb packages are installed correctly and libxcb version is 1.8.
Do you have any suggestions for this problem?

BTW, I can not use eglfs qpa platform instead of xcb?

For more information, I already tried to add directfb or opengl as a qpa platform when I did ./configure with -directfb -opengl.
But it was not applied and only xcb platform was built.
How can I configure it?
