4. Installing Qt Webkit from source

Installing Qt Webkit from source


  • I have self-compiled Qt 5.4.1 and installed in /opt/qt-5.4.1.

    However, I encountered an error while trying to 'qmake' my project file:

    Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

    I did sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev but the error persists.

    I suspect then that apt-get install does not work when Qt-Core was self-compiled. The Qt Webkit source is available on https://qt.gitorious.org/qt The question is, how and where should I install Webkit from source so that it can be detected while running qmake?

    HI and welcome to devnet,

    You need to clone the sources of the module then use the qmake of your self-built Qt on it to configure its build. Then the class make + make install.

    Hope it helps
