QtWebKit module missing in Linux custom build Snapshot 4.8.6

mikibobik

Hello!

I was trying to build new Qt 4.8.6 from the snapshot 2014-01-27-461
Using the following configuration line:
@./configure -webkit -nomake demos -nomake examples@

I got the results:
@

I need QtWebKit in my Qt Application.
What have I done wrong? I can't understand and I was not able to find anything on this issue :(

BTW My machine:
Linux 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I have Linux Mint OS (Release 11 - katya)

Thank You for any help!

I suspect you may be missing some dependencies. Run this on your terminal:
@
sudo apt-get build-dep qt4-qmake libqt4-webkit
sudo apt-get install python ruby perl
@

And pay close attention to the whole output of configure: maybe it gives a rationale as to why it is skipping webkit.

Thanks for reply.
I didn't have ruby, so I installed it. But I get this message:

@$ sudo apt-get build-dep qt4-qmake libqt4-webkit

Hm, I don't think the Mint guys have changed Qt package names from Ubuntu... check out with your package manager application, maybe Qt package has a different name on your distribution, then plug that name into build-dep (that command simply installs all build dependencies of a project).

But first, try just libqt4-webkit, maybe that is enough.

It's the same result :( I give up, I will wait for next LTS of Linux, and reinstall the machine. I though it would be easier to fix this issue.

Thank for your help, I appreciate it.
