First, Xmas felicitations to everyone!
People on -support might remember that I used to update my recent
desktop systems for important vulnerability fixes (or for new
versions of my preferred browser - firefox), but that after
firefox-58 I was no-lomger able to update my oldest systems, and
gave up.
In theory, BLFS is a rolling release, and therefore everybody
updates everything. I suggest that in practice nobody updates
everything.
For various reasons, with the release of qt-5.12.0 (not yet in the
book, because although the full build including qtwebengine is fine,
building qtwebengine separately does not work : to my surprise,
there has been activity this week on the ticket I raised, but it is
not yet sorted) I decided to try updating an old LFS/BLFS-8.0 system
to see if I could. And I could!
Hello Ken, I was updating my Qt just the other day and stumbled upon the
same issue. I then came across your bug report and the mostly unhelpful
comments, though there was one gem. Remove the currently installed
qtwebengine, and the new one will compile just fine. ld is for some
reason confusing libraries. I checked if I still have a packaged version
of my installed qtwebengine (for a Worst Case Scenario situation) then
uninstalled it. I didn't have to make clean, I just ran make again, it
continued and finished successfully. Just finished building and
installing KF5 (qtwebkit for kdewebkit is a PIA), and downloading the
needed KDE applications *fingers crossed*, plasma is already sneezing at me.
