Unknown module QT: webkit

I am trying to make a simple webview in Qt 5.6

in my .pro file I have

QT       += webkitwidgets

I have this Error:

:-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets
Solution

  • Starting from Qt 5.6 Qt WebKit was removed:

    https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6

    With Qt 5.6 the following modules are no longer part of the release packages, but users can still build them from source: Qt WebKit

    So if you still want to use WebKit you need 5.5 or earlier or you need to build your own version from sources.
