Sorry long winded but...
I've been trying to build the qtwebkit for qt5 for quite a while now,
but it was always failing and I was eventually building qt5 without it.
I believe barryk has had the same problem.
However I have recently persisted as i need to use it (by actually
reading all the readme's instead of ignoring them) and have come across
a couple of pointers that have lead to this:-
Linux: On systems running X11, the XCB libraries are required for
the platform plugin to build. qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README
lists the required packages.
Which basically says it needs these required packages:-
libxcb1 libxcb1-dev libx11-xcb1 libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-keysyms1
libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-image0 libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-shm0
libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-icccm1 libxcb-icccm1-dev libxcb-sync0
libxcb-sync0-dev libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-render-util0-dev
libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxrender-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev
libxcb-glx0-dev
OUCH!
However thankfully it also gave the alternate option:-
The '-qt-xcb' configure option can be used to get rid of most xcb-
dependencies. Only libxcb will still be linked dynamically, since it
will be most likely be pulled in via other dependencies anyway.
This should allow for binaries that are portable across most modern
Linux distributions.
SO, since I still don't get how your *.conf files work (I need to work
through an example or two that have not been modified and then modified
to 'get it'), can you tell me where to add the -qt-xcb where it needs be
please so I can test. And when you (or anyone else that is willing and
has the time to help) please write a how-to with some basic to
complicated level (before and after) examples with explanations. I will
need it when I add the wayland 'stuff', then hopefully I can try to do
it 'right' the first time.
Also I noted while I was at it, that icu4c is up to 56.1 while we are
54.1 still, 56 is unicode 8.0 compliant with some 41 new emoji
characters, 5,771 new ideographs for Chinese/Japanese/Korean, 6 new
scripts, improved character properties data, etc.., so maybe we should
update (or are you already there and just testing before releasing the
update).
thanks and sorry for being a problem bringer again
