could you give me some details? After re-enabling the build for MinGW, qtwebkit just compiled out of the box. It took forever, but did not require any patching. Admittedly, I have cheated a tiny bit by building with --buildtype Release, as RelWithDebInfo exceeded my (virtual) disk space. I'd like to point of the perhaps the entire reason for the continued existence of QtWebKit *is* MinGW, or more precisely the fact that QtWebEngine cannot be built with MinGW, and thus is not available as an alternative. > The mingw builds where recently removed after several month of > failing. And just now our MacOS build has been removed, as well. I know it has been failing. *Again* without any change on *our* end. I'm not directing the following sigh at anyone in particular, as I know there isn't the right address for it. It still wants out though: I'd love to have more time for the project. But I don't. It totally sucks to come back from a hiatus after a few months, only to find out that there's not just a lack of progress, but the project has been broken by external changes, left broken, *and* removed without notice. Instead of going anywhere, I'm spending hours just trying to get back to the baseline. No fun. Regards Thomas
