      Hello everybody!
      Is the Subject possible?
      I'm trying to create simple console app & lib to take snapshots from websites and save them as jpg. And it should work on server without X's.
      Any suggestion? Maybe where is some Flags/Preprocessor Definitions to compile QtWebKit without GUI elements?

        Oh yeh, sorry, have forgot to tell about version. I'm using 4.7.1 Opensource on Linux platform.

          That is not possible. There is a dependency on QtGui libs, that you simply cannot cut off. See the Wiki article "Qt library cross dependencies":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Qt_library_cross_dependencies for the rest of the dependencies.

          Also, some internals of WebKit depend on the graphics system being setup correctly which in turn forces you to have a valid X11 environment running. "This forum thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3005 has some details.

          So, the short story is: WebKit needs QtGui and X11.

            Thanks for your reply!
            It's a sad :(

            I will try it with fake X-Server... Xvfb for example... maybe it will work :)
