btw patches are welcome here https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD-AUR_fix/tree/master/q

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

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.

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

I'm having the following build errors:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5-webkit#comment-973748

Does no longer build:
[…]
[-Wtemplate-id-cdtor]

This looks for me that it can be worked around by adding -Wno-error=template-id-cdtor and other -Wno-error=-flags to CFLAGS/ CXXFLAGS.

That can be done in the PKGBUILD:

  CFLAGS+=" -Wno-error=template-id-cdtor"
  CXXFLAGS+=" -Wno-error=template-id-cdtor"
  export CFLAGS
  export CXXFLAGS

Maybe also just using -w (to switch off all warnings) might be a "catch them all" solution.

the build failure is NOT a bug. the latest icu4c requires c++17: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu4c/build.html while this specific version of qt5-webkit (qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4) uses c++11: https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/blob/qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4/Source/cmake/OptionsCommon.cmake#L34

luckily, the upstream qtwebkit-dev-wip branch has migrated to c++17, so the option is either switching to the dev branch or backporting c++17 fixes from that branch. they suggest this fork https://github.com/movableink/webkit, in which the merge-upstream-xxx branches appear to be qt5

Is this still gcc14 issue? How about remove the new patch and use gcc13?

No luck, all qt5-webkit are failing to build now

I have a build of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5-webkit-movableink-git at 50% now before trying a thing with a flag here, I only do one build at time of this now
