I'm trying to build QtWebengine from source so what I've done is I downloaded qtwebengine from http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/

I've also installed all the depencies listed on http://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/How_to_Try

I followed the steps to cd into the folder and ran

git submodule update --init

then qmake but I got this error: 

~/Documents/qtwebengine 5.10
❯ qmake -r
Cannot read /home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/qtwebengine-config.pri: No such file or directory
/home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/platform.prf:68: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.
/home/austin/Documents/qtwebengine/mkspecs/features/configure.prf:33: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.

Required gperf could not be found.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

Do I need to create my own qtwebengine-config.pri file?

ps: I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

  • `Required gperf could not be found.` — @applepie, is not it like saying that it cannot find an specific version of **gperf** tool needed for build? – Dmitriy Nov 07 '17 at 07:20

I had the same problem, solution worked for me was:

install all dependencies: wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

1) build qt 5.10 

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt5

cd qt5

perl init-repository --module-subset=default,-qtwebengine

./configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests

make

2) after qt5.10 builded same steps 

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qwebeng

cd qwebeng

perl init-repository --module-subset=qtwebengine,qtwebplugin,qtwebsoskets,qtwebview

cd qtwebengine

/yourQt5.10dir/base/bin/qmake

make -j
