QT Problem: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit webkitwidgets

Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit webkitwidgets

Herewith a solution to QT error: Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit webkitwidgets on ubuntu based linux installations.

Introduction

I just installed QT on lubuntu 14.10 today. Unfortunately I experienced a problem when trying to make a HTML5 application. The error was: "Unknown module(s) in QT: webkit webkitwidgets"

Solution

It turns out the problem is that QT needs the webkit module development files installed. A bit of googling revealed that the follwing should be enough to fix the problem:

sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5-dev

I hope this will help a few people out there.

Hi Nicolas, unfortunately I have not encountered this problem on Windows so I cannot tell you how to fix it on Windows.
