==Setting up the environment==
 
See [[BlackBerry]] for instructions. Furthermore see [[Building-Qt5-for-Blackberry|Building Qt5 for Blackberry]] as a prerequisite.
 
==Getting the source==
 
We will clone the git repository of webkit from Gitorious. Note that this takes a very long time and includes lots of test data, leading to a whopping 5GB disk space requirement for the checkout.
 
==Building==
 
There are two ways of building QtWebKit:
 
===Usage/Testing===
 
The suggested way is to build QtWebKit just like any other Qt5 module via QMake. See [[Building-Qt5-for-Blackberry|Building Qt5 for Blackberry]] on how to call QMake.
 
===Development===
 
There is a second process of building QtWebKit which differs from the other Qt5 modules. This is the suggested way to use when you want to develop QtWebKit. you still have to have configured your environment to use the <span class="caps">BBNDK</span> as described in [[BlackBerry]]! Especially ensure that the QMake binary in your <span class="caps">PATH</span> is the Blackberry version.
 
This will compile QtWebKit for <span class="caps">QNX</span> in a folder called WebKitBuild/Release in your webkit checkout.
 
After this process, you should have a Qt5 QtWebKit located in your Qt install prefix (i.e. $HOME/development/qnx/qt5 or in C:\dev\qt5install, depending of your operating system – if you followed the other howtos).

==Known Issues==
 
===WebKit1/C++===
 
QtWebKit applications using the WebKit1/C++ <span class="caps">API</span> are a bad fit for touch devices like the PlayBook. To simulate mouse events out of touch events, call the following on your QWebView:
 
If you do not do this, touch events are accpted and delegated to the JavaScript, but you will not be able to interact with the WebView, meaning: You cannot scroll, click links or do anything with it.
 
===WebKit1/QML===
 
Using QtWebKit with the old QtQuick1 <span class="caps">QML</span> <span class="caps">API</span> is currently broken. Eventually, this code will be moved from QtWebKit to the QtQuick1 module and reactivated.
 
===WebKit2/QML===
 
The new WebKit2/QML <span class="caps">API</span> is meant to be the holy grail of web-enabled apps running on touch devices. Sadly, this is not yet working properly, as it requires QtWebKit with OpenGL support. This is a work in progress, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95466 .
