Qt webenginewidgets not working on Mac

Donald Duck

I'm trying to build a cross-platform program that uses the web engine. To do so, I included the module webenginewidgets by writing QT += webenginewidgets in the pro file. This works fine on Windows, but on Mac I get an error saying Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets. How can I get webenginewidgets to work on Mac?

I found the problem. I had to install the webengine module with the Maintenance Tools.

Hi,

Which version of Qt are you using exactly ? On which version of macOS ?

Donald Duck

@SGaist I'm using Qt 5.8.0 with Clang 7.0 and Qt Creator 4.2.2 on Mac 10.11.6. The Mac is a virtual machine in case it's important.
