WebKit and WebEngine not found in Qt 5.7

Hi and welcome to devnet,

For the QtWebKit module, you'll have to compile it by hand from sources. It's been deprecated in Qt 5.5 and remove from the pre-built package in 5.6. However you can still get it from sources.

As for the QtWebEngine module, AFAIK, on windows you need VisualStudio 2015. That's not a Qt requirement but Chromium.

Thank for your answer.
I have never used Visual Studio. I prefer to compile QtWebkit from source. But I don't know how to do that ? Can you tell what to do ?

Else, if I want to use Visual Studio, I have to compile the project inside ?

If you get the sources from the installer, you can open it in Qt Creator and build it the same way as any project.

No you don't, you can still use Qt Creator. The VS IDE is not needed at all.

Thank
But what will be the consequences on the deployment if I use WebEngine with VS 2015 installed?

You'll deploy your application with the VS2015 version of Qt in place of the MinGW version.

Hi @SGaist

I have installed the mvs2015 from the Qt installer. I have also installed the Visual C++ Compiler 2015. I no longer get the error : Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webengine but when I try to include #include <qtwebengineglobal.h> or import QtWebEngine 1.0, I get this error : No such file or directory

Did you do a full rebuild of your project ?

Also, it should rather be #include <QtWebEngineGlobal>

But i get some error when I run the project (very minimal code) :

Sorry, that part I can't help you with. Looks like the error comes from Chromium itself.

Ok. Thanks for all.
