Trying to build Qtwebengine on Debian Stretch...

[Thorkal]

Hi,

I'm trying to build QTwebengine on Debian Stretch to get proprietary codecs support.
qmake passes well, but when I try to compile (make), I get this error :

( test -e Makefile.gyp_run || /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qmake /home/thorkal/Téléchargements/qtwebengine/src/core/gyp_run.pro WEBENGINE_CONFIG+=use_proprietary_codecs -o Makefile.gyp_run ) && make -f Makefile.gyp_run

Does anybody know what I can do ?

small update :
I just deleted the directory and cloned it again (version 5.10 this time), and I have this output from qmake :

Cannot read /home/thorkal/Téléchargements/qtwebengine/qtwebengine-config.pri: No such file or directory
/home/thorkal/Téléchargements/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/platform.prf:68: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.
/home/thorkal/Téléchargements/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/configure.prf:33: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.
 
Required gperf could not be found.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

The fact is I have gperf installed and present in /usr/bin

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Since you are using your distribution qmake, you should consider using the same version when building the module.

Okay, thank you. So my second post should be ignored, the right version for me is 5.7 and it's with this one that I have the error given in my first post
