qt5-webkit-movableink-git prebuild uploaded on sourceforge, thanks to MoetaYuko for the patch


About the comments; I'm starting to get really pissed off; please refrain to stating the obvious, make questions already answered, reporting already reported stuff, the icu solutions work for installed packages whenever how quirk they are, etc, etc, etc....

If you wanna post, post a patch!


I'm not a programmer but I guess webengine would be more convenient

@TheExplorer You don't say! [insert Nicals Cage meme]

If this package would never build in the future, shouldn't it be dropped in favor of qt5-webkit-movableink-git?

@oldherl have you tried to read the post before yours before posting, you should try that

FabioLolix commented on 2024-05-23 08:40 (UTC)

Post another time that this fails to build with icu 75 and I'll no longer upload the pre-build packages, I have qt5-webkit-movableink-git ready. You have been warned.

Have been posted enough icu 74 solution too.

FabioLolix commented on 2023-12-27 15:49 (UTC)

btw, depends on libicuuc.so have been added so you are obliged to uninstall and rebuild when there is a new icu update instead of keeping a non-working qt5-webkit (which lead to other build issues)

Or read: makepkg: Improving build times.

Pre builded (in clean chroot) package here https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/ for who is interested

Needs to be recompiled against the new icu version 74, I guess.

VileLasagna commented on 2023-12-19 19:37 (UTC)

I was getting a bunch of errors building this, complaining about a lot of undefined references in JavaScriptCore

After looking around, found a simple, albeit weird solution: adding "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" to the cmake call.

@FabioLolix: on the github webpage it says "Code in this repository is obsolete. Use this fork: https://github.com/movableink/webkit"

Is there any reason to keep the old repo?

@waasl can't replicate, what are you using for building?

You can also try with extra-x86_64-build from devtools package https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@FabioLolix I'm using pamac and I also tried to update it with yay, I don't know what is used to build. I also get different errors in pamac and yay.

I got this error trying to build this updated package with yay:

I made another version https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qgis-qtwebkit but qgis doesn't depends on qt5-webkit but on its own subcomponent python-pyqt5-webkit. Without rebuilding it, i was not able to rebulid python-pyqt5-webkit if i remeber well! Btw there was others issues with qgis like pdal and sip ... So this comment I made is a bit outdated now

FabioLolix commented on 2023-12-12 19:03 (UTC)

it gives errors: example rebuilding qgis ...

@kikislater some days ago I started to build the AUR stuff needed by qgis (qgis-git since qgis is in repo) but the firs AUR dep failed to build with devtools (pcl, seems for missing depends )

FabioLolix commented on 2023-12-12 18:55 (UTC)

@peter.kehl a bit of effort in solving/searching problems would be appreciated, complains for missing pre-requisite have been made some days prior
