[Qt-creator] Evaluation on Mac OSX (Eike Ziller) Successful work around found

[Victor Sardina]

Eike:

Thank you so much for your assistance. As a matter fact I confirmed that
the configure would include the WebKit module by default (+webkit) when
I originally compiled and installed Qt-4.5 (current beta version). When
something needing the module failed to compile then I made one more
assumption on top of the assumption that configure should have included
the module by default. In other words, I assumed that if configure
should include the module by default, then not finding it in the Qt
installation meant that I lack the actual source code for WebKit in the
Qt-4.5 (silly, but just another example of how sometimes we think too
much...and get nowhere).

I rerun configure but this time explicitly passing nothing but the
"-webkit" flag, as you suggested, plus "-qt-sql-mysql", which I need to
make sure that I have mysql support. A coupe of hours later everything
now appears as it should: I found the browser example under the demos
folder, as you suggested to check. In addition, after doing a "make
clean" followed by a "make" on the QtCreator-src directory I finally get
the executable with all the bells and whistles: now I feel much
better...even though I haven't actually done much... :-)

I will compile everything under RedHat Linux too in the next couple of
days, and will send feedback on how it goes. I still wonder why the
WebKit module did not get compile by default under Max OS...

Thank you again for your kind assistance,

Victor
