i've just updated my Qt to 5.9.0 on Windows with the Mingw 5.3.0 toolchain.
but i'm facing a bug where the WebEngine libaries and cmake files are missing: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61394 after reading more into it, it seems it might not be an actual bug...: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-42725 people in the above thread say that QWebEngine relies on the Chromium engine as a backend and Chromium cannot be build using Mingw on Windows - MSVC or clang needs to be used, so to me this means that if you want to deploy a Qt based app on Windows that uses QWebEngine it has to be built using MSVC or clang. if so, that's a bummer. the thread is old, but there are recent comments bellow that suggest to use a fork of QtWebKit, which is what we are using now - is that correct? i will investigate further into this, but i'm going to assume that switching to clang is a possibility (if QtWebEngine supports that - i don't exactly understand the details here), while MSVC is out of the question?
