[Msys2-users] There is no qtwebengine packages?

[hung.nguyengia <hun...@pr...>]

Just find out this when building a qtwebengine based browser. The configuration process failed because of missing qtwebengine and I searched for the package via pacman -Ss and found nothing. There is only qtwebview but not even qtwebkit.

Please add the qtwebengine and possibly qtwebkit package. Thanks.

Webengine unfortunately is not compilable with mingw compilers currently,
it would need massive patching to make it work and the technical debt with
that wouldn't be that feasible at the current time considering most of the
developers are working in their spare time.

Re: [Msys2-users] There is no qtwebengine packages? And while there is clang support yes, there is still some issues, namely some missing headers etc. And clang when qtwebengine is being compiled is compiled in msvc mode, not mingw mode.

Make sure you're using reply to.
