Comment (by ken@…):
I've got a bit further (managed to build it and do an INSTALL_ROOT install
on BLFS-10.0, which highlighted a few things and worked around possible
remaining glibc-2.33 issues.
Although the qtwebengine 5.15.3 branch is visible online, using that gave
me many differences from what gentoo were using. Twice very near the end
of the build I had failures. For the first one I found that gentoo had
reverted a patch from chromium. For the second I looked at git blame and
found that the FTBFS was related to a merge of 5.15.3 into -dev (which is
the ongoing development). There is also a 5.15 branch, using that changed
the module version from 6.0+ to 5.15.3. Of course, in the absence of
Qt-5.15.3 we need to build for 5.15.2.
This does not need the revert from chromium.
I'm currently calling this qtwebengine-5.15branch_20210303 to indicate
where this came from.
From an existing qtwebengine git pull I've done:
{{{
git submodule update --init
git pull --recurse-submodules
git fetch origin
git branch -r # to show remote branches
git checkout -b 5.15 origin/5.15
git-archive ignores submodules, so tarring this up is
a multi-stage process:
git archive --prefix qtwebengine-5.15branch_20210303/ \
-o /path/to/qtwebengine-only.tar
then go down to src/thirdparty. There are three modules:
chromium, gn, ninja. Go into each in turn and create an
archive (prefix chromium/ etc).
In somewhere with plenty of space (the chromium submodule
is somewhat large, it is also different from upstream chromium,
with backports and a qtwebengine directory in it) untar the
qtwebengine tarball, then cd into that and go down to
src/submodules. Untar each submodule.
The completed source can now be tarred up with tar -cJf, it
takes some time and includes files such as .gitignore but not
any git history.
