[Interest] QtWebkit error while building Qt5.12.7 sources

Sun Apr 26 17:51:54 CEST 2020

Hi,

QtWebkit had been built before with Qt 5.6.3 sources after downloading the
compatible sources along with Qt sources and installed successfully.
However, QtWebkit is not being built with Qt 5.12.8 sources either with
QtWebkit 5.9 or 5.212 branch latest sources.

When I tried to build QtWebkit as a separate module within Qt 5,12.8
sources , it throws below error:-

CMake Error at
/home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtbase/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfig.cmake:15
(message):
  The imported target "Qt5::Core" references the file

 "/home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtbase/../../../home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtbase//mkspecs/linux-g++"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

 "/home/ubuntu/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.8/qtbase/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfigExtras.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

Please let me know if am missing something obvious or any dependency in
this regard

Best Regards,
Ramakanth
