Building QtWebengine

For Windows see here

While this is hidden away in our build system, the build relies on gyp and ninja (fetched along with the chromium sources) to build chromium, hence a build dependency to python, in addition to the usual Qt5 suspects. You currently need at least Qt 5.4 to build QtWebEngine.

Installing dependencies on Ubuntu (might be outdated):

sudo apt-get install bison build-essential gperf flex ruby python libasound2-dev libbz2-dev libcap-dev
libcups2-dev libdrm-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libgcrypt11-dev libnss3-dev libpci-dev libpulse-dev libudev-dev
libxtst-dev

Installing additional dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04 (might be outdated):

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libxcursor-dev libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev libxrandr-dev
libfontconfig1-dev

Please note that these libraries need to be installed on other distributions as well, though the package names and the set of libraries that are preinstalled may differ depending on the distribution used.

Installing dependencies on Fedora (might be outdated):

sudo yum install "qt5-*" 

sudo yum install mesa-libEGL-devel libgcrypt-devel libgcrypt pciutils-devel nss-devel libXtst-devel gperf
cups-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel libgudev1-devel systemd-devel libcap-devel alsa-lib-devel flex bison ruby

To build a release build (generally recommended) do: qmake -r CONFIG+=release
