    I'm working on a project that requires Qt5.7 and has a dependency on WebKitWidgets which requires WebKit. I've managed to install Qt5.7 but not sure how to further install WebKit and WebKitWidgets?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Currently the easiest way would be to use @Konstantin-Tokarev QtWebKit reboot.

      Otherwise, you'll have to build QtWebKit yourself.

        @SGaist Thanks! I should have mentioned I'm using SUSE SLED 11. Not sure that that matters....

        Also will the above include WebKitWidgets as well? Thanks!

          Yes. Also note that there are binaries compatible with official Qt 5.8 SDK

            @Konstantin-Tokarev So I downloaded qtwebkit-tp4.tar.xz (since I'm working with Qt5.7) but I'm not sure what the next step is to build WebKit. I'm not seeing a "configure" or something similar to get the build steps rolling. I'm assuming I need to build this to generate the WebKit libs etc?

              @acourche You should use qtwebkit-tp5 if you are inclined to build from sources, or use Qt 5.7 binaries from qtwebkit-tp4. However, you should better upgrade to Qt 5.8 and use binaries from qtwebkit-tp5.

                @Konstantin-Tokarev I guess that's the part I'm not clear on. If I open up qtwebkit-tp4.tar.xz all I see is a Source dir and a Tools dir. Not sure how to ultimately get the libQtWebKit.so and libQtWebKitWidgets.so I need?

                      @acourche There were no Linux binaries in tp4 indeed, you need to build TP5 from source or switch to Qt 5.8.
