I tried to avoid the building because that takes ages - and we maybe have other advantages by using the "standard" binaries. I originally thought that we could also upgrade the compiler with the update, but the compiler we were already using was the last the installer offered 32 and 64bit builds - at the time - so I kept using that. qtwebkit had to be built extra anyway - which is also huge (maybe even larger than Qt itself) and later I found that qtwebengine wasn't builtin as well, which is also a huge build. So I'm not sure that using the installer instead of building myself saved much at all. IIRC webkit used to be the most time consuming part of the build in earlier versions. Another side note: azure pipelines will phase out the image carrying the 2015 compiler we use in march - not sure if we can install 2015 on the fly, that was what didn't work in github workflows (producing an internal compiler error at some point)… BTW which is the version that has the fixes we contracted KDAB on?
