Build and Compile QCAD on Windows 10 using QT-MingW

[FirstStep]

Hello,

I followed this routine as an attempt to compile and build QCAD on Windows 10 64-bit:

- I downloaded the source code from this site: http://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-downloads-trial
- I unzipped and opened qcad.pro using the latest virgin of QT Creator mingw 530-5.7.0: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.7/5.7.0/
- I Configured the files as asked by QT
- I unchecked Shadow build from Debug, Release and Profile.
- I build and I get this error:

Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

Could you please help go through this? Thank you.

Hello Andrew,

I see. I will look at it but Is there any instructions page on how to compile QCAD using several operating systems or/and IDEs? I would like to compile in Visual Studio if it is possible.

I am hoping for something similar to LibreCAD support pages:

http://librecad.org/cms/home/from-source/windows.html
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/wi ... -developer
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/wiki/Compile-HOWTO

I had many issues with compiling qtwebkit.

I found a useful tutorial by googling: "compiling qt 5.5.1 with qtwebkit".
The first result (pempek.net) was very helpful.
I don't think I can link to it here but I'll try: http://pempek.net/articles/2015/10/18/c ... udio-2015/.

Make sure you install correct versions (64 vs 32-bit) of Python, Perl (I used strawberry), Ruby , and ICU libraries.
I believe I used more recent versions than the ones listed on the pempek link.

After compiling qt successfully, I'm able to work on QCAD in qt creator.
