Webkitwidgets not found in QT for OS X

Question

I installed Qt for mac via .dmg installer. I added this to my .pro file:

QT       += webkitwidgets

and then i got this error:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

On Ubuntu, this solution works fine:

sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev

Also, if I run whereis qmake nothing shows up.

Does anybody know how to fix this on Mac OS?

Answer 1

It seems that qtwebkit is deprecated as of version upper than 5.7

Instead of brew install qt --with-qtwebkit
Try brew install [email protected] --with-qtwebkit

It seems that this is last formula version with --with-qtwebkit option

Answer 2

you can reinstall qt with homebrew, then make sure to add the flag --with-qtwebkit so in total:

    brew install qt --with-qtwebkit

Answer 3
