[Interest] QtWebkit error while building Qt5.12.7 sources

[Ramakanth Kesireddy]

Hi,

I downloaded the Qt Webkit sources from
http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/qtwebkit/5.212/latest/src/submodules/
qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.212.tar.xz
<http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/qtwebkit/5.212/latest/src/submodules/qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.212.tar.xz>
as part of building Qt 5.12.8 sources assuming it shall be compatible.
However, it didnot build QtWebkit module.

Even building as a separate module, qmake is not successful.

ubuntu at ubuntu:~/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit$ qmake
Cannot read
/home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit/release/Source/WebKit/qt_lib_webkit.pri:
No such file or directory
Cannot read
/home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtwebkit/release/Source/WebKit/qt_lib_webkitwidgets.pri:
No such file or directory

Could you please let me know compatible QtWebkit sources for Qt 5.12.8 LTS
sources?

Best Regards,
Ramakanth
