Re: [Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit
Thanks Israel, I have done that for my application. The problem is that it also uses Assistant, which on Mac requires webkit. It's pretty silly - there doesn't seem to be a supported way of stopping webkit from being in QT_CONFIG on Mac! Regards, Tony Sent: Tuesday, 23 April 2013 1:56 AM If your goal is simply to get an app into the mac app store without using webkit, there is no need to build Qt without webkit - simply don't use webkit in your project. I have several Qt based apps in the app store, not using webkit, even though I built qt with webkit. At least, I'm fairly sure they don't include webkit :-) Israel Brewster ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
Re: [Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit
Interesting. I went and actually looked at what was being built and QtWebKit is being built in my configuration. And Assistant is actually using that library. I guess since I start the build and go to sleep I never noticed if it was being built or not. I don't link against it for my application so I never really noticed. I stand corrected.

Re: [Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit
This is what I use on OS X 10.6.8 and 10.8 builds using the Qt 4.8.4 everywhere source package. ./configure -opensource -nomake demos -nomake examples -debug-and-release -shared -fast -exceptions -stl -no-qt3support -no-webkit -no-phonon -largefile -arch x86_64 -prefix /Users/Shared/Toolkits/Qt-4.8.4 -Dmmacosx-version-min=10.6 And I definitely do NOT get WebKit built and it builds just fine. From what I can tell.

Re: [Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit
Thanks for the response Mike, My configure used against expanded qt-everywhere-commercial-src-4.8.4.tar.gz is: ./configure -arch x86 -no-qt3support -no-webkit -nomake examples -nomake demos -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Develop er/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk - The configure shows the makefile for webkit being generated - webcore, etc modules are built by make - assistant.pro forces the use of helpviewer_qwv.cpp which uses webkit. Very strange! I've tried Philippe's suggestion to remove webkit from src/3rdparty before configure with -no-webkit, but that crashes early in make trying to do qmake on webkit.pro after forcing the src/3rdparty/webkit to be created!? I spoke too soon about my hacked assistant.pro working - it builds, but it seems there are lots of problems with the body font and line sizing issues using QTextBrowser on Mac?

Re: [Interest] Building qt4 on mac with -no-webkit
The only reliable way not to use webkit on both Mac and Windows, is to erase the webkit* folders before configure.

I'm still curious about the rationale for the -no-webkit configure option only being for Windows though!
