Web Engine in Qt

I have installed the new community version of Qt 5.8 using the Windows installer. Kits for mingw MSVC++ 2013. I have the compilers for msvc++ 2013. I have checked the webengine option too.

I was looking to make a simple browser in qt webengine and I get the error

error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

I have used

QT += webenginewidgets

in the pro file and, run qmake and I'm still stuck with the same issue.

I am little bit confused since I cannot find anything that could help me anywhere.

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Should I install something else to get webengine or should I download the source and compile it? If so, how?

What is the simplest way to use webengine in Qt?

Now Needs MSVC++ 2017


I believe the new chromium no longer support the 2013 compiler and thus Qt also don't support 2013 compiler so download the 2015 MSVC compiler install it and use the 2015 binaries Kit for Qt 5.8 and everything works fine.

ReInstall Qt Creator and Make sure you Checked QtWebEngine at that time
