[Solved] QtWebEngine module not found on Windows - Chromium does not work with mingw
-
Hi,
I have downloaded the Windows installer for Qt 5.4 and I made sure that QtWebEngine was selected on the list of options.
However, when I create a new Qt Quick Application using Qt Creator it informs me when I try to use:
WebEngineView
That the QtWebEngine module is not installed. Could anyone please explain to me why this does not work? Have I not installed it properly?
Thanks.

Hi
It is just Windows 7; 32 Bits

Also, I didn't compile anything AFAIK, the installer just downloaded and installed everything for me.
-
Is is necessary to compile QtWebEngine on Windows? I installed it using the installer and I don't think anything compiled.
-
Hi,
In qtcreator I have Mingw as the kit to build the application.
-
Really? wow that is amazing I didn't realise that Mingw did not work with QtWebEngine. Thanks for letting me know.

Wow. I just found a posting about this:
Qt WebEngine is not available for the MinGW build because Chromium does not support building with MinGW.

Note that you need MSVC 2013; older versions of MSVC are not supported: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows
