Self-compile Qt Webkit

I have self-compiled Qt 5.4.1 and installed in /opt/qt-5.4.1.

However, I encountered an error while trying to 'qmake' my project file:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkitwidgets

I did sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev but the error persists.

I suspect then that apt-get install does not work when Qt-Core was self-compiled. The Qt Webkit source is available on https://qt.gitorious.org/qt The question is, how and where should I install Webkit from source so that it can be detected while running qmake?

QtWebKit is not built anymore by default. You can build it after you have a proper build of Qt. Once you have your build of Qt clone the QtWebKit repo:

git clone https://github.com/qt/qtwebkit.git

then, make a new dir for the build files and from that directory enter the command:

/opt/qt-5.4.1/bin/qmake <path/to/qtwebkit>
make -j<n>
make install

Now you should be able to use QtWebKit with your build.

Probably you missed compilation of webkit while compilation of Qt. Read here how to resolve this issue:
